How did he make his debut?

Ozecki made his A-team debut in 2025 at the East Asian E-1 Football Championship, at just 20 years old. In January 2026, he also impressed in the U-23 Asian Cup, scoring 3 goals in 4 games, helping Japan win the tournament and solidifying his position in the national team.

Ozecki's strength lies in his overwhelming attacking sense, which he demonstrated as the number 10 player in the U-20 Japan national team.
