The soccer J-League is suspected of having a new concussion during play after applying a special case of 5 players, which is 2 more than usual in one game due to the influence of the new coronavirus. In some cases, we decided to allow one person to be replaced separately from this replacement slot.
The J-League held an online board meeting on the 28th to discuss game management and other matters for the league match that will start on February 26th.
Among these, we decided to apply a special case to increase the number of players to be replaced from 3 to 5 this season, considering that the schedule became overcrowded due to the spread of the new virus infection last season.
In addition to ensuring the safety of the players, if there is a suspicion of having a concussion during play, we have decided to allow one person to be replaced in addition to the five people's substitution quota.
In addition, if 13 or more members cannot be registered due to an outbreak of a new virus during the season, the match will be canceled and it will be necessary if the event cannot be held on an alternative schedule. It was also decided that the team that could not meet the number of people would be defeated 0-3.
