Exciting stuff nonetheless, 2024 seemed unrealistic anyway. I wonder what the time frame is now for pro/rel with the A league? 2030?
Have a read above. Pro/rel between NST and ALM isn’t really the plan.
More gradually expanding the ALM to 20-24 teams from NST clubs deemed able to go up. Then splitting the ALM into A1 and A2 of 10-12 teams each, with pro/rel between A1 & A2.
No real deadlines it seems, more as long as if takes for teams to be ready to join the ALM
Based on how Japan over time grew its club pyramid J1, J2 & J3. On face value seems s sound strategy
