Overview of the J1 League Transition

In a significant move, the J1 League is transitioning from its traditional spring-autumn format to an autumn-spring format by the year 2026. As part of this change, the upcoming "Meiji Yasuda J1 100-Year Vision League" will serve as a special competition that marks a new chapter in the future of J-League soccer.

ZAZA Corporation is committed to navigating change and fostering growth. They view Tokyo Verdy’s determination as a reflection of their vision, and as they champion the club alongside supporters, they emphasize the important role of innovation in sports and business.

Key Highlights of the Special Competition

This limited-time tournament will run from February to June 2026, featuring unique regulations different from typical seasons:

- Regional Rivalries: The 20 clubs in J1 will be split into eastern and western regions, setting the stage for heated local derbies fueled by hometown pride.

- Path to Continental Glory: The winner of this league will earn a spot in the 2026/27 AFC Champions League Elite, aiming for the top in Asian football.

- Pressure-Free Challenges: With no relegation consequences from this tournament, clubs can explore aggressive playstyles and integrate new players, making for an exciting lead-up to the ensuing season.
