Happy New 2026/27 season! 🎉 #JLeague #sanfrecce 🏹🏹🏹

Big announcement just in: Japan will host the 2028 AFC U-23 Asian Cup, the continent's qualification tournament for the 2028 Summer Olympics. Funny that they're suddenly very interested in geographic diversity after basically a decade of most major tournaments in West Asia.

Roasso Kumamoto announce that all top team and academy players/staff as well as front office staff have been confirmed safe. Club offices are closed for today and training TBD due to the closure of Kumamoto Sports Park for safety reasons. #jleague

The J3's Roasso Kumamoto closed the club's offices early and canceled the top team's training session following today's Reiwa 8 Kumamoto Earthquake. Worth noting that the 2016 Kumamoto Earthquake, which occured just a few weeks into the season, caused significant disruptions to the team's schedule.

I’m not entirely sure how, but Sanfrecce Hiroshima’s slim chance of qualifying for the 2026–27 ACLs has now vanished. 🙄

Dan Orlowitz@aishiterutokyo.bsky.social · 6mo ago

In this scenario, if Gamba were to win the ACL2 and also somehow managed to win the HYVL (I think it's still possible?) over Machida, then Gamba would go straight to ACLE group stage w/ Kashima & Kashiwa, Kyoto and Machida would be indirect seeds, and Hiroshima would go straight to ACL2 group stage.

Oh wait. "You may think there are only a few J.League players in the J.League, but it's because of the players' experience in the J.League that they're able to take on this global challenge. It's because of the local support they had that they were able to go overseas. Thank you for your support."

Moriyasu thanks the J.League, fans, supporters, everyone in all of Japan's 47 prefectures, the soccer family, etc etc etc. And here we go.

Moriyasu: "I'm about to announce my squad, but it was thanks to everyone who played for Japan in qualifying who helped support us and get us to this point. I'll announce 26 players today, but they're playing with the heart and spirit of everyone who's played together with them until now."

Moriyasu starts by thanking supporters etc etc. "I've given this a lot of thought, but I want to once again express my gratitude. In the campaign to reach this World Cup, many players have come to us with the desire to fight for Japan."

I understand the headache. It is like all the big international tournaments, just want more matched, to gain more money.

If Gamba Osaka win the ACL2 final, they will get an indirect spot in the ACLE, and that could roll up to the HYVL runner-up and Sanfrecce depending on where Kyoto finish. Remember that if any clubs get bounced from the ACLE playoff they'll end up in the ACL2!

ACL2 direct berths: 1. 2025 Emperor's Cup champs (Machida) 2. 2025 Levain Cup champs (Hiroshima) 3. 2025 J1 4th (Hiroshima) 4. 2025 J1 5th (Kobe) So if Machida were to win the HYVL vs. Kyoto, they would get direct ACLE spot, Kyoto and Hiroshima would get indirect, & Kobe would get ACL2. BUT WAIT-

ACLE indirect berths: 1. 2025 J1 3rd (Kyoto) 2. J1 HYVL 2nd (TBD) 3. 2025 J1 4th (Sanfrecce Hiroshima) 4. J1 HYVL 3rd (TBD) 5. 2025 J1 5th (Vissel Kobe) So if Kyoto beat Kashima in the HYVL final, Hiroshima and the HYVL 3rd place team would enter from the playoffs. BUT WAIT THERE'S MORE!

Basically the order of operations for ACLE direct berths is: 1. 2025 J1 champs (Kashima Antlers) 2. J1 HYVL champs (TBD) 3. 2025 J1 2nd (Kashiwa Reysol) 4. 2025 J1 3rd (Kyoto Sanga) [if Antlers also win the HYVL] So congrats #Reysol on officially reaching the ACLE league stage.
