The JFA Mid-Term Plan for 2023-2026Organisation
Data Box
The Japan Football Association (JFA) has aimed to expand itself by welcoming all the people who get involved in football as “football loving mates = Football Family” and providing them with various advantages in a proactive way.
Our football family reached 5.26 million members in 2015. Under the newly-set “JFA’s goal 2030,” we aim to increase the number to 8 million by 2030.
Both in football and futsal, teams, players, referees, referee instructors and coaches are now able to register via our website, which makes the registration process more efficient and less paper-consuming.
Note: Since 1 May 2015, coaching license for futsal coaches has been operated independently. The futsal license’s validity period that used to coordinate with football license works separately now.
