The Liverpool squad has been issued an emergency tsunami warning following a powerful magnitude 8.8 earthquake in Russia on Wednesday during their pre-season tour in Japan. The team arrived in Japan on Sunday after a first leg in Hong Kong, where they lost 4-2 to AC Milan despite new signing Florian Wirtz's strong performance.

Liverpool is scheduled to continue their preparations for the new Premier League season with a match against Yokohama F. Marinos on Wednesday in Yokohama, Japan. However, the game’s status is uncertain due to the tsunami warning issued after the earthquake. Authorities have ordered evacuations along Japan’s Pacific coast, where initial tsunami waves measuring 30cm have been reported on the northern coast. In Tokachi, Hokkaido, 40cm waves have been observed—854 miles from Liverpool’s base in Yokohama.

The Japanese government’s official statement warned of expected damage from tsunami waves and urged immediate evacuation from coastal and riverside areas to higher ground or designated evacuation buildings. They stressed that tsunami waves may hit repeatedly and advised people to remain in safe areas until the warning is lifted. Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba said officials are assessing the situation and that human life is the top priority for any relief efforts.

So far, no serious damage has been confirmed. Despite the warnings, Liverpool’s match against Yokohama F. Marinos remains scheduled for 11:30 am UK time, with public transportation to Nissan Stadium still operational. Yokohama, located on Japan’s western coast just south of Tokyo, is not expected to be severely affected by the tsunamis, though the city has established evacuation routes and tsunami shelters as precautions.
