To whom are J.League licenses issued ?

---

Why does the J-League inform local governments that “no licenses will be issued If it is not done” ?
J.League club teams are private companies that are for-profit stock companies.
We cannot understand why such a private company’s requirements would be informed to the local government.
(There is no argument that the this J-League’s stance is also a form of cadging taxes.)

Why does local government talk about private companies to citizens and reporters, saying, “the license may not be issued If it is not done” ?
Why does local government use taxes to build (or renovate) a soccer stadium for the exclusive use of a private company ?
Moreover, why do local government offer significant discounts on stadium rent under the pretext of reductions, contribute to the maintenance costs of soccer stadiums, and sometimes even appoint club teams or their associated companies as designated administrators and provide designated management fees ?

Are private companies and local governments cozying together for their own benefit and privately diverting taxes ?

Are  we not allowed to say this ?

The company informs the local government, ‘We are unable to build our own building because our business is struggling.
The local government then says, “If this situation does not change, that company will not be able to build its own building.” Then, the local government builds an office building exclusively for that company with taxes.
Moreover, the local government offer significant discounts on rent under the pretext of reductions, contribute to the maintenance costs of the building, and even appoint the company as building manager and provide management fees.

Of course, local governments do the same for other companies, right ?

To whom exactly is the J. League license issued ?

J.League licenses are issued to club teams, never to local governments.
If a club team cannot be issued a J.League license, that is not the responsibility of the local government.
The stadium criteria is the entry criteria imposed on club teams by the J-League.
In other words, the club team simply does not meet the J-League’s licensing criteria.
If an adult, you have to give up this time and keep challenging.

Why don’t club teams and their parent companies raise funds themselves ?
In the first place, the J.League which is not dependent on businesses, club teams cannot build luxury dedicated stadiums of J.League criteria. (In reality, the J-League which is not dependent on businesses cannot be going concern, but the ideal of the J.League is club teams that are not dependent on businesses.
At this point, the J.League has failed as a professional league.

Isn’t there something to do before asking local governments to build stadiums that are not public benefit ?
If a club team wants to be continued existence, we would think they should lobby the J.League to change the stadium criteria so that it can be used as a public soccer stadium.
Even if artificial turf is permitted and amateur teams can play soccer in the stadium used by the professionals, the image would change significantly.
The changing of only stadium criteria can greatly improve the impression of the J-League.
We very much hope the J-League and club teams to review their stadium criteria.

I feel that J-League has high self-esteem, and both J.League and club teams want only ideals that cannot be realized.
The B-League is trying to reform with the right pride.

Thanks.
