J.League returns to Vietnamese audiences.
"J.League is both new and familiar to Vietnamese football culture. With the same Asian football identity, HTV hopes that the J1 League copyright will contribute to helping Vietnamese football develop even more strongly, approaching the pinnacle of Asian football," said Mr. Nguyen Dinh Khoi - Head of Sports Department of Ho Chi Minh City Television.
J.League has received great attention from Vietnamese audiences in the past. Some Vietnamese players have tried their hand at this tournament such as Le Cong Vinh, Nguyen Cong Phuong, Dang Van Lam.

However, at present, the only Southeast Asian player playing in the J.League is Sandy Walsh (Indonesia) who plays for Yokohama Marinos.
J.League is also the cradle that produces many famous stars beyond Japan's borders such as Hidetoshi Nakata, Shunsuke Nakamura, Shinji Ono, Park Ji-sung...
