Nine first-round games will be held on the 6th, with the remaining eight first-round games scheduled for the 13th.
The 2024 season J League YBC Levain Cup will begin on the 6th.
Starting this year, the tournament format has changed significantly. A total of 60 clubs from J1, J2, and J3 participated and competed for the championship.
In the 1st round, a total of 57 teams, excluding the 3 teams participating in the ACL knockout stage (Kawasaki F, Yokohama FM, Kofu), 18 teams from J1, 19 teams from J2, and 20 teams from J3, will be divided into 10 groups and will be played in a one-game format. Perform the knockout method. The regulations dictate that the 10 teams that advance from each tournament will advance to the playoff round.
Nine first-round games will be held on the 6th. The remaining eight first-round games are scheduled for the 13th.
Numazu will host Sendai at home. They have gotten off to a good start in J3 with two wins in a row, and they hope to carry that momentum into this match. Will Yuma Mori, who has been in a row for two games, be able to lead his team to victory? Sendai, on the other hand, got their first win in the league in last weekend’s match. Expectations are high for Jinto Nakayama, who scored a powerful blow.
The first round is basically held at the home of the team in the lower category, but the match between Gunma and Sagamihara will be held at Gunma’s home stadium because Sagamihara’s home stadium is undergoing renovations and it is difficult to secure a stadium. Will be held.
Gunma has yet to win, having drawn their opening two games. Will Yuya Takazawa, who scored a goal in the opening match, be able to achieve results again? On the other hand, Sagamihara achieved two consecutive wins in the opening season. They aim to rise to the top with their solid defense, which resulted in clean sheets in both games.
Ehime vs. Nagasaki will be a match between J2 teams. Although Ehime won the opening game, they lost 0-2 in the second match against Shimizu. Pay attention to the performance of Ryo Kubota, who creates opportunities with his speedy play. Nagasaki has yet to win after two league games. Expectations are high for Ejigal, who scored his first goal in the match against Sendai on matchday 2, as a junior.
Kagoshima, who scored their first win after returning to J2, faces off against Chiba in J2!
Kagoshima vs. Chiba will also be a J2 match. Kagoshima achieved their first win since returning to J2 in the second match against Tokushima. Will 19-year-old Seiya Take, who scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute, be able to do a great job again? Chiba comfortably defeated Fujieda 4-0 in last weekend’s league match. Kazuki Tanaka, who scored two goals in that match, will be a player to watch.
YS Yokohama will play against Mito at home. Although we have not won after two league games, we will continue to play tenaciously and exploit the gaps of our opponents. Although Mito lost to Kofu in their most recent match, they are not in bad shape. Seiichiro Kubo and other young players should bring momentum to the team.
Sanuki will host Akita at home. They have not been able to produce results in the league, having drawn two games in a row, but they have a solid sense of defense so I don’t think they will suffer any major breakdowns. Akita got off to a tough start, losing their first two games. With two consecutive shutout losses and problems with their scoring ability, the offensive line will need to be motivated.
Kitakyushu vs Oita was a Kyushu showdown. Kitakyushu has not won two games since the start of the season. Can young talent such as Takaaki Hirahara become a catalyst? Oita has also failed to produce results, having drawn two games in a row. We want to win in different competitions and create momentum.
Miyazaki will play against Okayama at home. Although it started with two losses in the opening season, Hiiragi Yoshizawa continued his good form, winning two games in a row. Expectations are high for this new force, who has been named as a new ace candidate. Okayama, on the other hand, was caught up in the final minutes of last weekend’s game, and they were unable to win their first two games in a row. Will Grayson, who scored a goal in the opening game, be able to leave a mark in this tournament?
Ryukyu will host Fujieda at home. They got off to a good start in the league, going undefeated in the opening two games. Will the attacking style of scoring multiple points in two consecutive games work against J2 teams? Fujieda, on the other hand, has not won in two games and has not scored any points. New talent Daiyoshi Nakajima wants to bring momentum to the team.
