Japan Soccer League (日本 サ ッ カ ー リ ー グ, Nihon Sakkā Rīgu ) , o JSL , fue la liga de fútbol de primer nivel en Japón entre 1965 y 1991/92, y fue la precursora de la liga profesional actual, la J.League . JSL fue la segunda liga nacional de un deporte de equipo en Japón después de la Liga de Béisbol Japonesa profesional que fue fundada en 1936. JSL fue la primera liga nacional de un deporte de equipo amateur en Japón.
Historia [ editar ]
Cada equipo de JSL representaba una corporación y, al igual que los equipos de béisbol japoneses , se llamaba la empresa propietaria del equipo. Sin embargo, a diferencia del béisbol, se siguió el ascenso y el descenso , como sigue hoy la J.League. Los jugadores eran oficialmente aficionados y empleados de las corporaciones matrices, pero especialmente en años posteriores, los mejores jugadores generalmente recibían un pago estricto por jugar al fútbol.
Originalmente, la JSL consistía en una sola división, pero en 1972 se agregó una Segunda División. Los clubes podrían unirse al ganar la competencia de la Copa del Campeonato de Fútbol Senior de Japón y luego ganar una serie de ascenso / descenso contra los equipos inferiores en la JSL. De 1973 a 1980, tanto los campeones como los subcampeones de Segunda División tuvieron que disputar la serie de ascenso / descenso contra los colistas de Primera División; posteriormente y hasta 1984, solo los subcampeones debían disputar la serie.
Los mejores equipos de JSL incluyeron a Hitachi Ltd. , Furukawa Electric , Mitsubishi Heavy Industries , Nissan Motors , Toyo Industries ( Mazda ) y Yomiuri Shimbun , que ahora son, respectivamente, Kashiwa Reysol , JEF United Chiba , Urawa Red Diamonds , Yokohama F. Marinos , Sanfrecce. Hiroshima y Tokyo Verdy . Furukawa / JEF United fue el único que nunca descendió a Segunda División y mantuvo esta distinción hasta 2009.
JSL jugó su última temporada en 1991/92 y la J. League comenzó a jugar en 1993. Los nueve mejores clubes de JSL (junto con el Shimizu S-Pulse independiente ) se convirtieron en los miembros originales de la J. League. Los demás, excepto Yomiuri Junior, que se fusionó con su club matriz, Yomiuri Club, se unieron a la recién formada Japan Football League .
