Evolution of Compliance Support for Clubs

Training emphasising practicality, incorporating current issues

J.LEAGUE introduced compliance training for clubs in 2021, in addition to the Integrity Seminar held annually since 2015. In the initial phase, training focused on the development of a foundational compliance system, including risk management and harassment prevention. Based on club needs and the increasingly complex and diverse challenges they have faced in recent years, the training content has been expanded to incorporate more current issues and enable specific responses and countermeasures through enhanced curricula and support systems.

2025 Season Compliance Training Content (Examples)

・Online casino risks
・Defamation and customer harassment
・Integrity Seminar
・Staff and player training tailored to individual clubs

Support that clubs can utilise more concretely

In addition to training, initiatives have been implemented to support and encourage clubs.
1.Issuance of a J.LEAGUE statement on customer harassment and defamation before the start of the season in response to the recent increase in instances of defamation
2.Establishment of a J.LEAGUE-club collaborative framework for defamation countermeasures

Future Compliance Initiatives

J.LEAGUE plans to enhance the identification of club and player concerns and needs, and implement issue-specific training more tailored to specific circumstances.
