All Japan Senior Football Championship
Encyclopedia
The All Japan Senior Football Championship (Zenkoku Shakaijin Sakkā Senshuken Taikai, 全国社会人サッカー選手権大会) is a football (soccer)
cup
competition in Japan
. It is run by the Japan Football Association
. As it only involves non-league teams (teams not affiliated to either J. League
or the Japan Football League
), it can be considered an equivalent of the FA Trophy
or FA Vase
in England
.
. The winner and runner-up played off in a promotion and relegation
series against the bottom two clubs of the JSL. This continued even after the JSL added a Second Division in 1972. Since 1977, however, there is a system called the "All Japan Regional Football Promotion League Series
" to promote new league entrants (to the JSL 2nd Division, the former Japan Football League, and the current Japan Football League
), thus the "Shakaijin" is now effectively a non-league cup competition. The 1999 edition was the only one to feature teams from the current JFL; otherwise, all participant clubs have been from the regional leagues.
The format is a week-long elimination tournament in a host locale (originally a single city, now a major metropolitan area) chosen by the JFA beforehand, and the best clubs of the regional leagues (currently 32 entrants) qualify. The final takes place in a major stadium in the largest host city or prefectural capital. The winner automatically qualifies to the Regional Promotion Series (runners-up and third place
s may also qualify depending on berth availability).
Many former Shakaijin winners are now J. League members, so the cup, despite no longer guaranteeing promotion, is considered a crucial stepping stone by ambitious clubs.
