At the July awards banquet Wahl & Case and Footy Japan partnered closely to throw a memorable tenth year celebration, including having Miss Universe Japan finalists to present the custom trophies to all the winners.

Sid Lloyd, Footy Japan’s founder, rightly basked in the glow of the anniversary evening, and reflected on the accomplishments of the league since its inception, “Over these ten years we have been able to develop a close-knit community, and give 800-plus people from a mixture of nations and playing styles an outlet for their football passions. This tenth year sees the league at its strongest and most developed, with the level of competition very high for an amateur league. Footy Japan and the Wahl & Case Tokyo Metropolis league have become well known amongst amateur players throughout Asia, with teams representing the league entering many of the International tournaments taking place each year—with a very good success rate!”

The initial two-and-a-half year sponsorship of the league by innovative recruitment professionals Wahl & Case concluded in 2013 with Season 10, but Wahl & Case have confirmed their renewed sponsorship for the league in  Season 11. Romen Barua, Director of Wahl & Case’s Japan operations, commented, "It has been a pleasure to have been a player and captain in the TML over the past 6 years, playing for a number of teams across all divisions. Therefore it was an easy decision to continue the relationship between Wahl and Case and the league because of the tremendous value that it gives back to the community of players, friends and families associated. The league has moved from strength to strength in teams and we are looking forward to supporting it into Season 11.” Sid Lloyd, Footy Japan’s founder, commented on the renewed sponsorship, “With Wahl & Case’s support the whole Footy Japan team will be exerting our efforts to make the Wahl & Case Tokyo Metropolis League an exemplar within Asia”
