Japan Football League 1996 ↓

The 1996 J.League was the fourth season of the Japanese J.League . Sixteen clubs took part in it. The season was played in European style for the first time, so each team played against each other team once at home and once away. It began on March 16 and ended on November 9, 1996. The Kashima Antlers became champions .

mode

After the first three seasons were played in two halves, in which the respective winners then faced each other in finals for the championship, it was decided - probably due to the fact that the number of participants again increased by two clubs - to a "European" mode in which the Clubs played against each other twice, once at home and once away. As before, however, there were no draws; in the event of a tie after 90 minutes, the playing time was extended by two fifteen minutes, whereby the golden goal rule was applied. If it was still a draw after that, the winner of the game was determined by a penalty shoot-out .

As in the previous season, there were three points for a win and one point for a defeat on penalties. The table was created according to the following criteria:

1. Number of points scored
2. Goal difference
3. Goals scored
4. Results of the games among themselves
5. Decision game or coin toss

Attendees

A total of sixteen teams took part in the season. In addition to the 14 clubs from the previous season, Avispa Fukuoka and Kyoto Purple Sanga rose from the Japan Football League .
