Its not weird that Japan uses "Soccer" (サッカー) instead of football (フットボール) since is more commonly used and it's in their official dictionary. Football is interchangable for both Soccer and American Football (アメリカンフットボール/アメフト). They also consider Rugby to be "football", so I guess to them, football is any sport where you take a ball to a goal.
