Flying Pheasants Fagiano Okayama weren’t even on the map of Japanese football 20 years ago – now they’ll play in J1 for the first time.

From J. League Regista:

History in 90 Minutes After 11 seasons, J3 League are getting their own play-offs… which is a good reminder: how did this start in J2?

From J. League Regista:

Just ask #Oita Trinita - it's possible to make history in both ways. J2 witnessed that already for more than a decade 🔙"
