Background

[edit]

Japan Cerebral Palsy Football Association is in charge of managing the national team.[1] While Japan was active in participating in the IFCPF World Championships by 2016, the country did not have a national championships to support national team player development.[2]

National team development is supported by an International Federation of Cerebral Palsy Football (IFCPF) recognized national championship. Recognized years for the national IFCPF recognized competition include 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, and 2015.[3]

In 2016, after getting an endorsement by the World AntiDoping Agency (WADA), the IFCPF Anti-Doping Code was formally amended to allow for out of competition testing. This was done through a WADA approved Whereabouts Programme managed through ADAMS. Drawing from players in a Registered Testing Pool, players from this country were included ahead of the 2016 Summer Paralympics in Rio.[4]

Japan was ranked sixteenth in the world by the IFCPF in 2016.[5] The team is also ranked third regionally in Asia-Oceania.[6] Japan was ranked thirteenth in July 2011, September 2012 and November 2014.[7][8][9] In August 2013,Japan was ranked fourteenth.[10]
