note

The first women's match in Japan was held on 19th March 1967 at Kobe by junior-high and primary schoolgirls.
Since then, women's football has been played by many girls and mothers, students of highschool and colleges.

In the 1st Championship, they played the eight-a-side football for 50 minutes with a smallish ball (to 7th) on a smallish pitch, because women's football in those days is not a popular sport.

Most Valuable Player
