Overview

[edit]
  • Dates: 8–24 November 2024
  • Number of Teams: 12
  • Format: Preliminary round (3 groups of 4), followed by a final round (4 teams)

On 10 October 2024, the Japan Football Association (JFA) announced the tournament guidelines. Additionally, during the JFA Extraordinary Council Meeting on 24 December 2023, it was initially planned to host the first league under the Chūgoku Football Association's jurisdiction at Mimasaka Rugby and Soccer Stadium inMimasaka City,Okayama Prefecture. However, it was later decided to hold the event inShimane Prefecture instead.

The tournament regulations are modelled after those of the previous year (2023). However, followingSony Sendai FC's decision to cease activities at the end of the 2024 season and their submission of a withdrawal notice to the Japan Football League (JFL), the JFL Board of Directors met on 3 October 2024. After accepting Sony Sendai FC's withdrawal, they reviewed the rules for promotion and relegation between the JFL and regional leagues. Initially, the JFL Rules stated that the last-place team in the JFL would be automatically relegated, replaced by the first-place team in the Regional CL, while the second-to-last JFL team would face the Regional CL's second-place team in a replacement match. However, the Board decided to revise this rule as follows.[1]

  • The 1st place in the regional CL will be automatically promoted to the JFL, and the 2nd place in the regional CL will be replaced with the lowest team except for Sony Sendai in the JFL (automatic relegation from the JFL will not be implemented).
  • If only either the 1st and 2nd place in the regional CL meet the JFL membership criteria, the team that meets the criteria will be automatically promoted to the JFL (no replacement match will be held, and the bottom of the JFL except for Sony Sendai will remain in the JFL).
  • If neither the 1st and 2nd place in the Regional CL meet the JFL membership criteria, the team that meets the JFL membership criteria will be automatically promoted in the order of 3rd →4th place in the Regional CL (no replacement match will be held, and the bottom of the JFL except Sony Sendai will remain in the JFL).

Participating teams

[edit]
Locations of clubs participating in the 2024 National Regional Football Champions League

Based on the tournament guidelines announced by the JFA.[2]

  1. 2024 Regional League Champions (9 teams)
  2. Up to three teams from the participants of the 60th National Adult Soccer Championship can qualify. These include the top three teams that wish to join the JFL, rank among the best four or higher, belong to the top regional league, and have not already qualified for the tournament under criteria 1.
    • Winner:Japan Soccer College
    • Third place:J-Lease FC
    • Fourth place:FC Kariya
      • After the completion of the quarterfinals, the top four included the three clubs and FC Tokushima (Shikoku's first-place team and a tournament qualifier), confirming the participation of three teams.[3]
  3. If there are fewer than 12 teams meeting criteria 1 and 2, the J-League Centennial Initiative Club ranked second in each regional league will be added. If there are multiple candidates, priority will go to the club with the earliest approval date for the J-League Centennial Initiative Club. In addition, each club can qualify only once under this requirement.
  4. If fewer than 12 teams qualify through criteria one to three, the second-place teams in the regional league will be considered. The team aiming to join the JFL will be selected based on the highest number of registered teams in the National Adult Soccer Federation as of June 2010 (Kantō → Kansai → Kyushu → Tōkai → Hokkaido → Chūgoku → Hokushin'etsu → Tohoku → Shikoku). In 2024, the order will change to Tohoku → Shikoku → Kantō.
    • It does not apply because twelve teams had qualified under the criteria one through three.

Match format

[edit]

Based on the tournament guidelines announced by the JFA.

  • In the first round, twelve teams will be split into three groups of four, playing a round-robin league. Four teams will advance to the final round: the top team from each group and the best second-placed team overall. In the final round, these four teams will compete in another round-robin league.
    • The group draw was held on 26 October 2024, at the conference room in the Toyota Tokyo Building, where the JFA Secretariat is located, and was live streamed on the official YouTube channel of the Kansai Soccer League.[4]
  1. Among the winning teams of each regional league, three regional teams, including the venues for the first round (Hitachinaka: Ichihara, Yumeria Iwata: Ise-Shima, Matsue City: Fukuyama, referred to as "Group 1"), six teams that win other regional leagues ("Group 2"), and three teams participating in the company-wide frame (JSC, J Lease, Kariya, referred to as "Group 3"). It is predetermined that teams from "Group 1" and "Group 3" will not be placed in the same group.
  2. "Pot 1" and "Pot 3" each contain one ball with a group name (A, B, C) written on it, while "Pot 2" holds two balls. There are three types of "Pots" (A, B, C), each containing balls labelled with position numbers (A-1 to C-4) for each group, along with a "lottery box" containing numbers 1 to 4.
  3. First, the "lottery" will be drawn three times to decide the position of each group in the final round. The remaining spots will be filled by the wild card (the top second-place team from the first round).
  4. Next, the three teams in the first group draw from "Pot 1" and match with the corresponding "Pot A, B, and C" to assign the first-round venue, group, and position of each team.
  5. Next, the six teams in the second group will draw from "Pot 2" and the corresponding "Pot A, B, and C" to decide their positions.
  6. Finally, the three teams in the third group draw from "pot 3" to decide their positions. In this process, the possibility of teams from the same regional league being in the same group is not taken into account.
  • The games will consist of two 45-minute halves, making a total of 90 minutes. No extra time will be played orpenalty shootouts.
  • In both the first and final rounds, points are awarded for each match (win = 3, draw = 1, loss = 0), and rankings are based on the total points from the three matches. If teams are tied on points, the tiebreakers are goal difference, total goals scored, head-to-head record (not considered for determining the best second-place team), foul points, and finally, a lottery if no other criteria separate the teams.
