The Kirin Cup in Japan in 1993 was similar to the US Cup in USA in 1992 and 1993 in that it was a way of promoting Soccer in the two countries prior to the establishment of Professional Leagues (J League in Japan and MLS – Major League Soccer in USA) and the hosting of World Cups (USA ’94 and Japan 2002).
