At the end of the golden October, the Japanese J-League is brewing a disruptive change. According to Japanese media reports, the J-League intends to break the traditional geographical boundaries and try to introduce a new mechanism of corporate titles.
Meanwhile, veteran media personality Miao Yuan disclosed on social media that the neutral name policy of the Chinese Super League salon was controversial at the early stage of its formulation, and the policy makers did not reach a consensus.
The news quickly sent ripples through fan circles in the five regions, with some even pointing out that the move may trigger a re-examination of the FA's neutral name policy.
The J-League is reportedly planning a series of reforms for next season, including the removal of geographical restrictions that would allow local teams to play at major stadiums in the metropolitan area and set up branches in cities, as well as an attempt to open up naming rights to corporations.
In the face of this change, Miaohara took to his personal social media to express his views. He mentioned that there has been disagreement among policy makers about the issue of neutral names. At the beginning of the year, there were higher level voices that believed that the shackles on Chinese professional salons were too heavy and that there was a need for an in-depth study of this. Miaohara further pointed out that if the current neutral name policy is correct, then the introduction of the corporate title policy by the JFA is an anachronism, which may lead to a downward spiral of Japanese soccer, losing not only the future, but also the conscience of soccer.
