Meaning Behind the League Name “LIGA.i”

“LIGA.i” represents the hope to improve “Intensity,” “Influence,” and “Integrity” to enhance the value of blind football and create a more inclusive society. Along with this desire to change today’s society, the fact that everyone involved in “LIGA.i” has the freedom to create their own unique “i” generates diversity, allowing every single person to take the initiative in building the league.

*With the establishment of the new league, LIGA.i,” in 2022, blind football now has a three-tournament system consisting of the “Japan Championship,” in which club teams from across the country can participate; the “Regional League,” which is held in four areas across the country; and the “Top League,” in which only teams that meet certain eligibility conditions can participate.
