history

From 1980 there was the Zen-Nihon Joshi Soccer Senshuken Taikai ( 全 日本 女子 サ ッ カ ー 選手 権 大会 , " All Japan Women's Football Championship" ), an annual nationwide tournament in women's football, at which mainly factory, university and School teams participated in regional qualifying competitions and which is later connected to the emerging league structure as a kind of cup competition. In 1989 the Japanese women's soccer league started operations with initially six teams. In the 1990s, when the Nihon Pro Soccer League, the Japanese [men's] professional football league (English: Japan Professional Football League , J. League for short ) was created, the L. League began to develop a league system in women's football with two divisions. The first division teams arose partly from factory and university teams, the second division partly from high school and middle school teams. Some are now women's departments of professional teams in men's football.

The league was then reorganized several times, in 2010 the current structure was created with ten teams in the first division again. The football department of Tepco, the Tōkyō Denryoku Joshi Soccer-bu Mareeze ( 東京 電力 女子 サ ッ カ ー 部 マ リ ー ゼ ), stopped playing in 2011 because of the Tōhoku earthquake and the resulting accidents at the Fukushima I nuclear power plant in 2011, which is why only nine teams were in the competition in 2011 .

According to the main sponsor, the food retailer Plenus ( purenasu ), the leagues are currently officially called plenus Nadeshiko League and plenus Challenge League .
