Approval of special measures for J-League financing Club financing support April 15 20:44
The Soccer J.League has approved a special board meeting held on the 15th to provide special measures for loans that ease the conditions for the repayment period for clubs whose cash flow has become difficult due to the spread of the new coronavirus. .
Due to the spread of the new coronavirus in the J League, the schedule of the official game, which was aiming for a gradual resumption from the end of this month, has become blank, and there is concern that the management of each club will deteriorate due to the prolonged interruption.
Against this backdrop, the J.League held a temporary board meeting on the Web site on the 15th, and approved the provision of special financing measures for clubs whose cash flow became difficult, with repayment terms and other conditions relaxed.
Specifically, if the impact of the new coronavirus is recognized, J1 clubs will be financed up to 350 million yen, J2 clubs up to 150 million yen and J3 clubs up to 30 million yen. , It means that the repayment period, which was generally one year, will be extended to three years and no collateral is required.
It also means that when you get a loan from a league, you usually don't impose sanctions that reduce your points by 10 points.
In addition, we have decided not to cancel or sanction the club licenses that qualify for participation in the J.League, even if there is an excess of debt or a deficit for the third consecutive year.
According to the J League, no club has applied for a loan to the league at this time.
On the other hand, J-League Mitsuru Murai Chairman of the J.League chairman said, "The schedule has not been finalized, but various opinions have been exchanged." It will be necessary to make adjustments when it restarts after June. Originally, we have to think about playing the J League game in the week when there is a match of the Japanese national team that does not play a game, while discussing with the Japan Football Association. , We will respond flexibly to the reduction of the schedule of the Emperor's Cup and the J League Cup.
