Called the WE League, for women’s empowerment, the new organisation will initially consist of six to 10 teams and will kick off in the fall of 2021. The league's round-robin format will include home and away games between each of the teams. Japan Football Association President Kohzo Tashima said the aim of the league is not just to develop women's soccer in the nation.

"We will work to establish the career of women’s professional footballer, which is the dream of many girls, and further promote women’s empowerment and solve social issues.”
