2012 J. League All-Star Soccer

The J. League All-Star Soccer, called JOMO All-Star Soccer for sponsorship reasons, is an annual exhibition match organised by the Japan Football Association and J. League. It has been played each year since the inception of J. League in 1993. The players are chosen by the fan voting and the recommendation from J. League. The manager and coaches are also selected by the fan voting.

The old Japan Soccer League had an all-star game that was the forerunner to this competition. From 1966 to 1972 it was a two-leg final and from 1979 to 1992 a one-game affair, all pitting a West team against an East team. The last two games, in 1991 and 1992, were of the few football matches that took place at the baseball-specific Tokyo Dome.

The competition is officially titled with its sponsor's name. It was called Kodak All-Star Soccer between 1993-1998 as Kodak Japan (the Japanese subsidiary of Eastman Kodak) sponsored it. It was known as Tarami All-Star Soccer from 1999 to 2001 after food company Tarami. It has been titled as JOMO All-Star Soccer since 2002 because Japan Energy Corporation whose filling stations are branded as JOMO sponsor the competition.
