The Japan Football League is the fourth tier of Japanese football, just one step below the J.League. And if you've never watched the league before, now is the time. This year the JFL will feature Kazuyoshi Miura, the world's oldest professional footballer. And beyond King Kazu, this is the place to see future J.League teams as well as some excellent non-league football.
This video introduces the league history, structure and teams, as well as explaining how to watch the games. There may even be some predictions...
I hope everyone enjoys the 2022 Japan Football League season!
You can watch live JFL games on the league's official KZfaq channel here:

Thank you for watching! Let me know if you've watched the JFL before, and if you have a favourite team. Feel free to predict the top four as well!

Thanks for the suggestion! I'll definitely do an Emperor's Cup video like that before the first round in May

1st Honda FC, 2nd Sony Sendai, 3rd Verspah Oita, 4th FC Osaka, and 16th TIAMO Hirakata. I have watched the JFL last year, and i'm going to watch it again this season! Looking more forward to watch Suzuka Point Getters, as i did last season. Specially now with Miura, will be more interesting see how they play in JFL, although i don't have that high hopes for them. But football is about having fun watching, so i'm not worried about their performance. Just want to have fun watching the league itself ^^! Thank you for making this video! I don't know if that's possible, but if you could make a video about the University or High School league system, i would be glad to watch (although i'm already glad to watch your videos), since i don't know much about it

Thank you for your comment and prediction! I agree that watching football is about having fun, so I think this season in the JFL should be great. It'll be really interesting to see how Kazu gets on at Suzuka. And thanks for your suggestion about a university/high school football video. I'll definitely look into doing that this year

Went to FC Osaka - Criacao Shinjuku yesterday. I had FC Osaka in my top 4 for sure, and they looked very good yesterday. I've been to about 30 JFL games and visited half of the stadiums - it's always a very good experience and the games are quite entertaining. Definitely recommend it to anyone who likes lower division football. In 2022, Honda, Oita, Sony Sendai and Osaka are in my top 4, and Okazaki, Musashino and Honda Lock in the bottom 3. Also a small typo in the video - it's Kagura Shimane.

That's fantastic! Great effort in getting to so many JFL stadiums. It would be good to see FC Osaka get into the JFL. Very interesting predictions for the season, too. Let's see what happens! And thanks for pointing out the typo!

Thank you so much for this video! I found more soccer to watch for free and I must say that the matches are very entertaining. My favorite team from the JFL is Veertien Mie, team colors hit my soft spot and their fast paced attack,when countering, is enjoyable to watch.

Thank you! I'm glad to hear that! I like Veertien Mie, too. Very passionate fans as well!

I watched some FC Osaka games for a couple seasons. I wouldn't even have the slightest idea for top 4 minus Honda FC. Definitely checking it out on KZfaq if they still are going to play the games on their channel. Kazu will bring more eyes to it for sure. Good informative vid👍

@LostinFootballJapan 2 жыл бұрын

They were broadcasting the games on KZfaq today, so hopefully they keep doing that. And Kazu brought in over 4,000 fans for Suzuka Point Getters's home game today! He even started the game. Hopefully he does well for them this season.

From 2023 there's going to be a relaxation from J3 to the JFL?

@LostinFootballJapan 2 жыл бұрын

That's right. They haven't announced the details yet, but relegation from J3 to the JFL is set to start from 2023

@LostinFootballJapan 2 жыл бұрын

Yes, I'm hoping to get to Tokyo Musashino United and Criacao Shinjuku games soon, and make vlogs. And, hopefully, a few trips further afield for JFL games. Plus a few regional league matches, too!
