General Information

JFA LogoThe three-legged crow holding a ball represents the god of day, namely, the sun, cited from a classical book of old China. It is believed that the three-legged crow provided Emperor Jimmu and his army with directions on his expedition to the East. The yellow and blue colors of the flag represent fair play and youth, respectively, thereby suggesting Japan Football Association’s spirit of fairness backed by the vigorous power of youth.

The JFA IdealThrough 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.

By strengthening the base of football in Japan, we will create world-class National Teams that will move, inspire and encourage the people of Japan.

We will always act in a spirit of fair play, fostering friendships among the people in Japan and beyond, to contribute to the betterment of the international community.

The JFA ValuesJoy of Sports: Put the joy and pleasure of sports at the heart of everything that we do.Players First: Always act in the best interest of players. Fairness: Strive to be open, act in good faith, and above all be fair at all times. Moving Forward: Continue to grow with high aspirations and passion.Respect: Respect and appreciate everyone and everything that we engage with.
