Kazuyoshi Miura, 56, makes football history



Veteran Japanese striker Kazuyoshi Miura continues to make history with his signing at Oliveirense in February.

Miura made his debut for Oliveirense in the Portuguese second division on Saturday after substituting for Jonata at 90 minutes in his team’s 4-1 win over Viseu.

The mythical “King Kazu” arrived on the Portuguese football scene at the age of 55. Playing in “extra time,” but enough for him to become, at 56 years, one month and 24 days, the oldest player to compete in the history of Portuguese football.
