Trivia

• In the episode 37, Gremio FBPA has been replaced by Paraguay as the opponent of Japan in a friendly. In the same episode, Japan's coach Yasuhiko Okudera's name is not mentioned, as he is simply referred as "Coach" by other characters, and even in the end credits.
• In the final episode, 38, among the crowd cheering Tsubasa, a cameo of Shingo Aoi can be seen.
• In this adaptation, the stadium where Bremen plays its matches against Japan and Italy resembles the Weserstadion after its 2009-2011 renovation, while the one where Munich plays against Japan resembles the Allianz Arena.
