Japan Professional Football League, referred to as J League for short, is the highest-level professional football league system in Japan. It is sponsored by Japan Football Association, a public welfare consortium, and Japan Professional Football League, a public welfare organization, and all participating clubs in J League are responsible for it.
The cause of the incident:
Japan began to promote football at the beginning of the 20th century, and successively set up football schools all over the country, and held the first national football cup in 192 1 (1946 was renamed the current Emperor Cup).
Japan National League was formally established in 1965, but each team was sponsored by an industrial consortium, and the team names were also named after the industrial consortium, such as Furukawa Electric, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Nissan Motor, etc., and the club funds were all borne by the industrial consortium, so the team names all followed the consortium names.
Sumo and baseball were popular in Japan in the 1980s, but football was not popular then. The Japanese Football Association hopes to organize a professional football league to make the football club a professional independent individual. The discussion started at 1988 and ended at 1993 when the first Japanese professional football league was established.
