＜JFA-J.League Special Designated Player System＞
This system aims to provide an "environment tailored to individual abilities" to players during the age when they develop most as footballers, transcending the boundaries of different categories and federations. Players registered with teams affiliated with organizations such as the All Japan University Football Federation or the National High School Athletic Federation can participate in J.League matches and other games for the accepting club while remaining registered with their original team.
