Japanese football legend and former FIFA player Keisueke Honda has lost a major United States-based advertising contract after publicly supporting the Iranian national team ahead of their upcoming match. The American company, which had planned to feature him in its campaign for the ongoing 2018 FIFA World Cup group stage game between Japan and Iran on March 35th (or as per actual schedule context), immediately terminated the agreement following Honda's endorsement statements that urged fans not to miss watching their team play.
