Vissel Kobe wins the 2023 J1 Soccer League championship, in its 29th year of existence with Osako and others

The winner of the J1 Soccer League 2023 is Vissel Kobe. After joining the J. League in 1997, this was their eagerly anticipated first win in 27 years. At their home stadium, Noevir Stadium Kobe, J1 leaders Vissel Kobe faced off against Nagoya Grampus. A win will secure the championship because Yokohama F. Marinos and second place tied yesterday.

This Saturday, November 25,’s “2023 Meiji Yasuda J1 League Round 33 Vissel Kobe vs. Nagoya Grampus” result has determined the first J1 League championship since Vissel Kobe’s founding.

The first goal was scored by Ide in the 12th minute of the first half when he took a direct shot in front of the goal off of Osako’s through ball. The second goal was immediately scored by Muto, who connected with Osako’s cross once more in the 14th minute of the first half.

However, Juncker’s goal in the thirtyth minute of the first half gave Nagoya a point back. Following that, the second half featured back-and-forth play, and Vissel Kobe emerged victorious over Nagoya Grampus 2-1, achieving their first win—long awaited—even before the championship round. The Kawasaki Steel Soccer Club was the name of Vissel Kobe’s forerunner before it was renamed as such in 1995.

Andres Iniesta, a treasure from Spain, unexpectedly joined FC Barcelona in 2018. They achieved their first-ever Emperor’s Cup victory in 2019 and achieved their highest-ever finish of third in 2021.

The term “Vischel,” which was coined and means “a victorious departure,” is a combination of the English words “victory” (VICTORY) and “ship,” and it connotes both the international port city of Kobe and a team that upholds the aspirations of its people while persistently pursuing victory. It implies that it represents a particular oath. Kansai has regained the title, continuing the tradition started by professional baseball’s Hanshin Tigers and Orix Buffaloes.

On the 25th, Vissel Kobe, a J1 soccer team, defeated Nagoya Grampus 2-1 at Noevir Stadium Kobe to win their first championship. The J1 championship, which is commemorating its 30th anniversary, has been won by 11 different teams.

Second-place Yokohama F. Marinos tied the game on the 24th, giving them 64 points. With just the last round left, Kobe took his total to 68 and secured the championship. Yokohama Ma failed to win for the second time in a row.

Yoshinori Muto and Yuya Osako are two of Kobe’s many experienced players who have played for the Japanese national team. Kobe has been playing well since the start of the season, balancing their attack and defense well. He never went on a losing streak, and on September 3rd, he simply blew the competition away.

The Kawasaki Steel Soccer Club was the predecessor. The team relocated from Okayama to Kobe in 1995 with the goal of joining the J-League, and it began as a citizen’s club called “Vissel Kobe” without a parent company.

They joined the J League in 1997 after placing second in the Japan Football League (formerly JFL) in 1996. Despite being demoted to J2 twice, they have improved their performance recently by fortifying the J1 ranks, supported by the substantial financial resources of the Rakuten Group. At the Emperor’s Cup All-Japan Championship, where the championship match took place on New Year’s Day 2020, he won his first championship.
