The J.League Division 2 2008 was the tenth season of the Japanese J.League Division 2 . Fifteen clubs took part in it. The season began on March 8th and ended on December 6th, 2008, the relegation games with the table sixteenth in Division 1 2008 were played on December 10th and 13th.

Master and thus promoted to the J.League Division 1 2009 was Sanfrecce Hiroshima . In addition to Hiroshima, runner-up Montedio Yamagata also rose. Third-placed Vegalta Sendai failed in the relegation in two games against Júbilo Iwata .

mode

For the first time since Division 2 existed, the teams only played against each other three times, at least once at home, due to the number of participants increasing to 15 clubs; thus there were a total of 42 games per team. There were three points for a win and one point for a draw. 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

The two clubs with the most points rose to the J.League Division 1 2009 at the end of the season . The table third played with the table sixteenth of the J.League Division 1 2008 in a two- legged manner for another place in Division 1. In the event of a tie after the end of these two games, the away goal rule was applied; should this not result in a decision either, extra time and, if necessary, a penalty shoot- out was carried out.

Attendees

A total of fifteen teams took part in the season, two more than in the previous two seasons. At the end of the preseason, three clubs were promoted to Division 1 in 2008 . Master Consadole Sapporo managed after five years in Division 2 the third promotion to Division 1, runner-up Tokyo Verdy 1969 returned after two years in the first division. In the relegation for a place in Japan's top division, the third-placed Kyōto Sanga narrowly prevailed against the Division 1-sixteenth Sanfrecce Hiroshima , Kyōto managed to return directly to the House of Lords.

In addition to Hiroshima, which was transferred to Division 2 for the second time after the 2003 season , two other clubs were relegated. The bottom of the table, Yokohama FC , returned to the Japanese second division after just one season, while the penultimate Cerezo Osaka returned to Division 2 for the second time after five years in Division 1.

The field of participants was completed by the two new J.League members Roasso Kumamoto and FC Gifu , runner-up and third place in the 2007 Japan Football League . Roasso Kumamoto is the former company team of the telecommunications company NTT West founded in 1969 and played a total of four seasons in the Japan Football League under various names during the 2000s. The FC Gifu, on the other hand, was only created in 2001 and is in the spiritual tradition of the Seinō Transportation SC , which represented the prefecture in the higher-class leagues until 1998.
