Machida Zelvia
9th in Japanese J.League2025 Fixtures























































The J1 League will crown its 2024 champions this weekend with three teams still a chance of winning it.

The J1 League title looked Machida Zelvia's to lose. Now it could be Sanfrecce Hiroshima's to win.

With just five points now separating the top five, the J1 League title race looks set to go down to the wire.

In their first top-flight campaign, Machida Zelvia are somehow the halfway-mark leaders of the J1 League.
