The 2024 Prince Takamado JFA U-18 Football Premier League (Japanese: 高円宮杯 JFA U-18サッカープレミアリーグ 2024, Hepburn: Takamado no Miya-hai JFA U-18 Sakkā Puremia Rīgu 2024) is the 35th season of the main competition for under-18 teams in Japan, the 14th after rebranding the competition to the current "Premier League" format, and the 3rd season with 24 clubs participating in the league.[1]

West champions Ohzu High School and East champions Yokohama FC were the zonal winners, playing each other in the final. Ohzu eventually won it by 3–0. They became the first side from Kumamoto, the second side from Kyushu, the first high school overall and the first public high school to ever reach the final and/or win the tournament since the establishment of the Premier League.

Changes from the previous season

[edit]

The Premier League/Prince League play-offs gives an opportunity for teams to be promoted from the Prince Leagues (a conglomerate of regional leagues that forms the 2nd division of youth football in Japan). The 11th and 12th-placed teams of each division will be directly relegated.

Participating clubs

[edit]

As usual, the teams were allocated to each division by the JFA based on geographical positions. Yokohama FC U-18s was the only team to be relocated, switching from the West to the East on 2024, a year after relocating to the West.[2]

Promotion/relegation play-offs

[edit]

Qualified for the stage the 16 top-ranked teams of the nine Prince League divisions, with each region having its amount of qualifying slots predetermined by the JFA[a].[3]

Kanto's Prince League was the only one to qualify three teams from, whereas Tohoku, Tokai, Kansai, Chugoku and Kyushu qualified two teams each, and just one each qualified from Hokkaido and Shikoku. They were divided into four blocks, with their respective block winners (or 2nd round winners; highlighted in bold) qualifying for the next season's Premier League.

The match pairings were determined by a draw, conducted on 2 December 2024.[4]

The play-offs slots were determined and announced on 28 February.[5] Three teams qualified from Kanto, two from Tohoku, Tokai, Kansai, Chugoku and Kyushu, alongside one from Hokkaido, Hokushin'etsu and Shikoku Prince Leagues. The final team to qualify for the play-offs was decided on 1 December 2024, as Urawa clinched their spot on Kanto's last round.

  1. ^ Reserve teams, however, can not participate in the play-offs. If their final league placement sat in the qualifying zone for the play-offs, their slot would be allocated to the next best-ranked team.
