2024 Regista Awards: J1 League

Coaches thriving, delusion in Saitama, and a relegated revelation: these have been the awards for the top flight.

Fagiano Okayama weren’t even on the map of Japanese football 20 years ago – now they’ll play in J1 for the first time.

After 11 seasons, J3 League are getting their own play-offs… which is a good reminder: how did this start in J2?

A Brazilian force in Nagasaki, a German goalkeeper, and one of the hottest teams in the league: these have been the awards for the second tier.

A rookie season can be fluke, a better sophomore year can not – Hiiro Komori is ready for the next step.

One step for Gunma, a giant change for J2 – Thespa are already down, and there’s no “grey surviving” in the second division.

From Australia to Ehime, Ben Duncan launched himself into an unexpected journey. And he’s taking the best out of it.

A rising star, J3 valuable players, and potential-playoffs gambles: these have been the Top 10 moves in J2 last Winter.

S-Pulse can disappoint at any time, but Tadahiro Akiba must grab this chance to put them back on the map of Japanese football.

Yokohama FC are the only relegated team from J1, but they might have another shot at the first tier. Sooner than expected.
