2016 season in Japan Football Leauge is unpredictable

This season, there are more several clubs with J League 100 Year Plan club status and also, other clubs aiming for J League division 3 than last term. Therefore, for Fagiano Next, this season is going to be tougher because last season, the team finished in the 15th place, second to the bottom of the league.


Especially, three of J League 100 Year Plan holders seem powerful enough to be qualified for the division 3. Vanraure Hachinohe was unable to get up to J League division 3 last season even though they took the second place, because their present home stadium was not good enough to meet the requirement of J League. This year, their new home stadium is scheduled to be completed so that the club are likely to promote to J League division 3 if they finish within the fourth place this year.


Azul Claro Numazu acquired some talented players for the new season. Former Fagiano Next midfielder, Miyata joined the club. The most notable player is the Japan football Legend, Masashi NAKAYAMA. This former national is very experienced and can be a textbook for his teammates.


Nara Club are also one of J League 100 Year Plan holders. This year, the club made an agreement with veteran defender, Takuya YAMADA. He has played for several J League clubs such as Tokyo Verdy, Cerezo Osaka and Yokohama FC etc... Last year, he worked for Imabari FC in Shikoku Regional League.


In terms of performances, those clubs must finish within top four of Japan football League, and either first or second among other 100 Year Plan holders. Other clubs such as FC Osaka, Tokyo Musashino FC, ReinMeer Aomori and Briobecca Urayasu aim for J League as well. This League is obviously noteworthy.
