The 1979 Japanese Super Cup was the third edition of the Japanese Super Cup, a one‑match competition that traditionally pits the champion of the Japan Soccer League (JSL) against the winner of the Emperor's Cup. This early incarnation of the Super Cup was organized during the era of the Japan Soccer League before the establishment of the professional J.League in 1993.
Context and format
- Organizer: Japan Soccer League (JSL) and the Japan Football Association (JFA).
- Purpose: To open the Japanese football season with a match between the previous season’s top league champion and the national cup champion.
- Typical timing: The match was ordinarily held in the early months of the calendar year, shortly before the start of the new league season.
Available information
- The 1979 edition followed the inaugural 1977 Super Cup and the 1978 edition.
- Specific details such as the exact date, venue, participating clubs, match result, goal scorers, and attendance are not documented in publicly accessible encyclopedic sources.
Current status of records
Because comprehensive records for the early Japanese Super Cup matches are limited, many historical details about the 1979 event remain unverified. Researchers and football historians seeking precise information are encouraged to consult contemporary newspaper archives, JFA yearbooks, or club historical publications.
Note: The term “1979 Japanese Super Cup” refers to a recognized football event within Japanese sporting history, but detailed factual data about the match is insufficiently documented in widely available encyclopedic references.
