Each club had one representative from the Mobile Division and one from the PlayStation Division, and the winner was determined by the total score of the matches between the two divisions. In the fast-paced Mobile Division, there are matches where the score moves violently, and in the PlayStation Division, it is necessary to consider the balance between offense and defense based on the results of such matches.
Advancing to the finals were a01-110 and Tess from Kashima Antlers and nikodaZzz and Takaki from Yokohama F. Marinos.

The first match was a 2-2 draw in the mobile division, and the second match was a 1-1 draw in the PlayStation division. In the third game, a showdown in the mobile division, Yokohama F. Marinos scored two goals to break the deadlock and win the championship!
Comment from nikodaZzz (Daiki Toyama)
I am very happy. We had drawn the first game, and Hyogo had tied the game in the last minute, so I was determined not to let it go to waste (in the third game). We were able to win the championship for the second time, both individually and as a team, and I want to keep improving our record.
Comments from Takaki (Hyogo Takaki)
I was really helped by Toyama's competitive spirit in the semi-finals and the final. In the final match, I was not able to create a good flow of the game, but even under such circumstances, I was able to tie the game at the end of the game, which led to the victory. Next time, I would like to aim for back-to-back championships.
As you can see the final results. Yokohama F. Marinos closed the tournament by winning the eJ League championship for the second time since 2021. You can see the high-level ball skills of the players in the archived videos on the YouTube channel " eFootball Channel ".
