The JFA Mid-Term Plan for 2023-2026Organisation
Data Box
The Japan Football Association (JFA), in The JFA Declaration, 2005, sets out the following principle: “Through football, we realise the full benefits that sports can bring to our lives — the soundness of our bodies, the expansion of our minds, and the enrichment of our societies.” Guided by this principle, the JFA strives to create a world-class football environment in which everyone can enjoy and engage with football throughout their lives.
Registered members — including players, teams, coaches, and referees — serve as the foundation of this vision and play a central role in supporting football activities at every level. The registration system also helps foster connections across the wider football family. In recent years, the use of digital services has further strengthened and expanded these connections, helping to create an environment in which individuals can remain engaged with football over the long term.
