Wikipedia - V.League (Japan)
The V.League 1 (Japanese: Vリーグ) is the top-level professional volleyball league for both men and women in Japan. The league started in 1994.
The competitions are organized by the Japan Volleyball League Organization. The league was called V.Premier League before the reform took place in 2018.
History
V.League
In 2016, the Japan Volleyball League Organization, which hosts Premier League, held a press conference in Tokyo and announced plans to create a new league and aim for professionalization. They plan to recruit participating teams by the end of November and aim to start in the fall of 2018.
This project to create a new league was called NEW BORN V.LEAGUE. The new league was named V.League. The new V.League aims to promote the "sports business" of volleyball by realizing a system of "earning through sports and returning the profits to sports" without being bound by conventional concepts. In addition, the V.League aims to further enhance the value of volleyball, push volleyball up to Japan's top arena sports, connect with the world, and become the world's best volleyball league.
S-V League
The Japan volleyball league organization held an online press conference on January 15 to explain a new league to be launched in the 2024–25 season. Under the philosophy of "strong, broad, and connected to society," the league aims to become the world's top league by 2030.
This new league is a mid-tern project called V.LEAGUE REBORN. The official name of the new league is S-V League. S stands for Strong, Spread and Sociaty. S-V League will replace V.League as the highest level of Japanese volleyball league.
S-V League as a highest level league and the necessary requirements to be licensed include:
- The main arena can accommodate more than 5,000 people and more than 80% of the home games are held there;
- Annual revenue of more than 600 million yen;
- Having youth teams under the age of 18 and under the age of 15;
- A dedicated clubhouse;
The relation with V.League
For teams that do not wish to join the S-V League, both men's and women's leagues will be unified into one division under the name of V.League. The East-West Conference system will be introduced.
