Nadeshiko League Division 1 2007

The Nadeshiko League's Division 1 again consisted of eight teams in 2007, and its season ran from April 28th until December 9th, with a break for the Women's World Cup, held in China in September.


The format used by the league reverted back to a straightforward round robin tournament, using the system of three points for a win, one for a draw and none for a loss. Each team would play each other thrice. The bottom team would be automatically relegated (replaced by the winner of Division 2) and the second-from-bottom would enter a play-off with the Division 2 runners-up.

NTV Beleza won their tenth title, and their third in a row.

Having finished bottom, Ohara Gakuen JaSRA SC were automatically relegated to Division 2. Having finished second from bottom, Iga FC Kunoichi proceeded to play JEF United Ichihara Chiba Ladies who finished second in Division 2 for the right to play in Division 1 in 2007. They won and retained their Division 1 status.

Nadeshiko League Division 1 2006

In 20006 the league was renamed the Nadeshiko League. Division 1 again consisted of eight teams, and its season ran from May 21st until November 4th.


The format used by the league changed once again. For the opening stage a straightforward round robin tournament was employed, again using the system of three points for a win, one for a draw and none for a loss. Each team would play each other twice. A new second stage was introduced, with the top four teams playing each other once more, with the same procedure applying to the bottom four teams. At the end of this second stage the bottom team would be automatically relegated (replaced by the winner of Division 2) and the second-from-bottom would enter a play-off with the Division 2 runners-up.

NTV Beleza won their ninth title, and their second in a row.

Having finished bottom, TEPCO Mareeze were automatically relegated to Division 2. Having finished second from bottom, Speranza FC Takatsuki proceeded to play Ohara Gakuen JaSRA SC who finished second in Division 2 for the right to play in Division 1 in 2007. They lost and were relegated.

The league was a straightforward round robin tournament, again using the system of three points for a win, one for a draw and none for a loss. The season was longer than in 2004 due to the lack of a major international tournament, with all teams playing each other thrice.

NTV Beleza won their eighth title, and first since 2002.

Having finished bottom, Takarazuka Bunnys Ladies were automatically relegated to L2.

L.League 2004 (L2)

The newly organised L2 division consisted of six teams, and its season ran from June 13th until October 31st.


The league was a straightforward round robin tournament, again using the system of three points for a win, one for a draw and none for a loss. The only difference between L1 and L2 was that in the latter all teams would play each other thrice.

Okayama Yunogo Belle won the race to be automatically promoted ahead of Albirex Niigata Ladies. Belle's promotion was sealed on October 24th in a 5-1 away win against Shimizu Daihachi SC, the hometown team of Belle's manager Honda Midori, with whom she had begun her career.

L.League 2004 (L1)

The newly organised L1 division consisted of eight teams, and its season ran from June 13th until October 31st, with a break for the Olympic Games, held in August in Athens.


The league was a straightforward round robin tournament, again using the system of three points for a win, one for a draw and none for a loss. All teams would play each other twice.

YKK Tohoku Flappers changed their name to YKK AP Tohoku LSC Flappers. Tasaki Perule FC had hitherto used the Japanese 田崎, but from this season decided to use the Roman alphabet and called themselves TASAKI Perule FC.

Saitama Reinas won their first league title. The following season the club was renamed Urawa Red Diamonds Ladies when it became part of that organisation.

Having finished bottom, Ohara Gakuen JaSRA SC were automatically relegated to L2.
