NEW YORK -- Major League Soccer and its Japanese counterpart, the J.League, continued to develop their relationship this month, as a J.League delegation toured several MLS markets during the month of September. The 33-person delegation included representatives from 28 of the J.League's 32 teams, as well as documentary film staff.

The tour, which explored the operations of the Columbus Crew, FC Dallas, Chivas USA, and the Los Angeles Galaxy, was launched as part of the J.League's 11 Million Project, an initiative that aims to increase aggregate annual attendance at official matches to 11 million spectators by 2010 (and the intermediate goal of 9.5 million for 2008). The goal of the visit was to support the 11 Million Project by learning about MLS's best practices in ticket sales, community relations, and database marketing.

  4. That's great, but when you're linking to the league's official website, it's not really "rumors" anymore...no?

  6. How's this for a rumour? I heard that the J-League is going to allow teams from China. That's what I heard.

     
  7. Geeze, if they're going to Dallas, they should have at least gone to Toronto, too!
