Japan history

Every Japan season 442ball holds a table for, newest first. Our record starts in 2008 and is thinner before 2014, so this is what we hold rather than the club's complete history.

A position in a group stage is a position within that group, not a finish in the competition. Seasons still being played are marked.

Each club's own leaders for that season, not the competition's. A player who moved mid-season counts only what they did here. Clean sheets are counted for goalkeepers who played.
