Yokohama F. Marinos Wins the eJ.LEAGUE eFootball 2024 Season!
After fighting through the representative selection rounds that began in February 2024 and the final tournament brackets in April, eight clubs gathered at the Nippon TV studio for a head-to-head confrontation! The eJ.LEAGUE eFootball 2024 Season final tournament was held on Saturday, May 18, 2024, featuring the following clubs:
- Gamba Osaka
- Kagoshima United FC
- Kashima Antlers
- Kyoto Sanga F.C.
- FC Machida Zelvia
- Renofa Yamaguchi FC
- Montedio Yamagata
- Yokohama F. Marinos
Each club consisted of one representative player for the Mobile Division and one for the PlayStation Division, and the winner was determined by the total score of both divisions' matches. Intense, high-scoring matches were seen in the fast-paced Mobile Division, while the PlayStation Division required players to balance offense and defense based on those results.
PR TIMESAdvancing to the final match were a01-110 and Tess from Kashima Antlers, and nikodaZzz and Takaki from Yokohama F. Marinos.
The first match in the Mobile Division resulted in a 2-2 draw, and the second match in the PlayStation Division ended in a 1-1 draw. In the third match, which returned to a Mobile Division confrontation, Yokohama F. Marinos broke the deadlock with two goals to brilliantly secure the championship!
Comments From nikodaZzz (Daiki Toyama)
I am very happy.
The first match ended in a draw, but since Hyogo managed to score the equalizer at the very end, I went into the third match with a strong desire not to let that effort go to waste.
Since we were able to achieve our second championship both personally and as a team, I want to keep extending this record.

Comments From Takaki (Takaki Hyogo)
I was truly saved by Toyama's clutch performance in both the semifinals and finals.
I couldn't create a good rhythm in the final match, but I believe the fact that I was able to catch up and equalize near the end of the game led to this victory.
Next time, I want to aim for consecutive titles.
