CM 2008 > Guides > League Guides > Japanese J-League 1

The Japanese J-League 1 is the premiere football league in Asia. Despite the fact that it is still a relatively new league, it is extremely competitive and the growing revenues that are gained from crowd attendances and advertising has lead to an influx of quality players from South America.

League Structure:

- Top 2 teams qualify for the Asian Champions League
- The 16th placed team competes in a play off against the 3rd placed team from the J-League 2, with the winners remaining in/being promoted to the J-League 1
- Bottom 2 teams are relegated

CM FOCUS

 
CM 2010 section
We will soon be starting work on our new CM 2010 section, which should be up within the next week.

I hope to build up some comprehensive lists of all the best players, tactics, set pieces routines and training schedules.

I am also hoping to start a new Lower League Section, with help and guides for those who chose to start their managerial careers further down the footballing ladder.

If anyone is interested in helping with the Lower League section or any other area of the site, then please send me an e-mail at jonathan@champ-man.com
