J.League Yamazaki Nabisco Cup (J.League Cup)
============================================

Six teams advanced to the Quarter Final - winners of each group, and best two teams of four 
runners-ups in group league results. Kashima Antlers and Gamba Osaka were seeded to the Quarter 
Final, because they would play the AFC Champions League Group Stage. On the other hand, the 
Champion of ACL in last season, Urawa Red Diamonds (Reds) didn't play in ACL Group Stage, so Urawa 
participated this league cup tournament from the Group League.

After 2007 season, two club joined to J.League Division 2, Rosso Kumamoto (renamed to

Toyama Prefecture, Alo's Hokuriku (4th) and YKK AP FC (6th) have merged into new club, 
Kataller Toyama from this season. These things rescue all clubs, including Arte Takasaki, 
the bottom in last season, from relegation to regional leagues.

It's same as last season that the promotion and relegation system. The bottom two teams will be 
relegated to regional automatically, and 16th rank team have to attend the relegation/promotion 
play-off against the 3rd rank team in the regional league final tournament. On the other hand, 
they will be promoted to JFL, the champion and the runners-up in the Regional League Final in autumn.

J.League, Japan Professional Football League has recognised its semi-membership for five clubs. 
J.League gives them some conditions to join in next season; the 4th rank or better in JFL, clear 
some financial conditions, prepare its stadium to fill J.League standard.

 From this season - Kataller Toyama, Fagiano Okayama and 
                    New Wave Kitakyushu

MIO Biwako Kusatsu, promoted from Kansai in this season,  
changed its English spell from "FC Mi-o Biwako Kusatsu".
Kataller Toyama was a new founded team in Toyama Prefecture, 
merged from Alo's Hokuriku and YKK AP.

Five asterisk-marked (*) teams were the associate members of 
J.League; Tochigi, Toyama, Okayama, Tottori and Kitakyusyu.
J.League required several conditions for them to become 
new official members. 
Three clubs cleared these tasks, one of them was the 4th rank 
or better in JFL, and the professional league recognized 
Tochigi, Toyama and Okayama as new participate clubs in its 
second division (J2) in 2009 season.

Because of this result, JFL cancelled its relegation rule 
in this season. If no club will go to J.League in next season, 
the bottom and second-worst teams had to be relegated to 
regional leagues, and the 16th of rank attended the play-off 
to the 3rd club in the National Regional League Final Tournament 
(NRFT). 
In next season, JFL joined three clubs from regional league.
 FC Machida Zelvia (The Winner of NRFT, from Kanto, Tokyo)
 V-Faren Nagasaki (The Runners-up in NRFT, from Kyushu, Nagasaki)
 Honda Lock  (The 3rd in NRTF, from Kyushu, Miyazaki, relegated
              from JFL after the play-off in 2006 season)

MIO Biwako Kusatsu, promoted from Kansai in this season,  
changed its English spell from "FC Mi-o Biwako Kusatsu".
Kataller Toyama was a new founded team in Toyama Prefecture, 
merged from Alo's Hokuriku and YKK AP.


Five asterisk-marked (*) teams were the associate members of 
J.League; Tochigi, Toyama, Okayama, Tottori and Kitakyusyu.
J.League required several conditions for them to become 
new official members. 
Three clubs cleared these tasks, one of them was the 4th rank 
or better in JFL, and the professional league recognized 
Tochigi, Toyama and Okayama as new participate clubs in its 
second division (J2) in 2009 season.

Because of this result, JFL cancelled its relegation rule 
in this season. If no club will go to J.League in next season, 
the bottom and second-worst teams had to be relegated to 
regional leagues, and the 16th of rank attended the play-off 
to the 3rd club in the National Regional League Final Tournament 
(NRFT). 
In next season, JFL joined three clubs from regional league.
 FC Machida Zelvia (The Winner of NRFT, from Kanto, Tokyo)
 V-Faren Nagasaki (The Runners-up in NRFT, from Kyushu, Nagasaki)
 Honda Lock  (The 3rd in NRTF, from Kyushu, Miyazaki, relegated
              from JFL after the play-off in 2006 season)
