Since the early 1910s, the Kanto and Kansai, 3rd Far Eastern Championship Games (Far Eastern Championship Games that although individually small student football match had been made in many places was held in Tokyo in May 1917, such as Hiroshima soccer) is a major stimulus for each football team of the country, began to soccer tournament in the country is opened.

In the Kansai region from the 1910s through the 1920s, especially Osaka headquarters and Osaka Mainichi Shimbun Asahi Shimbun (now: Mainichi) it was mainly held a number of sporting events, including the baseball for the purpose of newspaper sales. In January 1918 (1917 fiscal year), Toyonaka village of Toyonaka ground in began organized by the Osaka Mainichi Shimbun, "Japan foot ball championship large Concert" is one of them. The competition, originally rugby parties Osaka Mainichi Shimbun, in the planning brought in as the tournament of rugby competition, tournament name, there is an aim that want to invite to match the Keio should be called Japan Rugby founder in Kansai bearing the name "Japan" in. But rugby is that it does not become So the competition there is no school that only time three teams are doing in the Kansai area, that it is doing in a number at that time if the football 10 Kansai, in football, because there is a La-type and A-type, association Football (a-type, soccer is called it this way at the time) also put in, "Japan foot ball championship large Concert" has been carried out as a co-host of the Rugby. However, that was only to talk about rugby department that call this Keio, soccer part of Keio (Keio Sports Council Sokka part) not yet been wound, absolutely nothing to do with the football department. But eventually Keio 體育 會蹴 bulb (rugby) was coming, the other party it is, but is said to have returned to abstain angry because only a junior high school student who had been named "Japan foot ball championship large Concert", unify after It is said to have worked predominantly in when. That is football began as an accessory tournament of rugby, rugby department is the fact that survived thanks to the exaggerated named "Japan foot ball championship large Concert," which gave the reasons described above. It should be noted, has become a predecessor of the National High School Rugby tournament even better at the same time began rugby department and football department. In addition, the sixth Annual Meeting from the older to become Kwansei Gakuin High School is the first time the old system junior high school because there was not a plan, "Japan foot ball championship large Concert" and billed as initially referred to as "secondary school football tournament." until, Kobe high quotient has participated in the third annual meeting. These old system high school in the Kansai region at the time, "History of the Kansai soccer" old system professional football part of the school or more categories is believed that there was no problem because it was not in the 30 and 31 pages because it is "Japan foot ball large Concert. Anything come It has been described as unpleasant. " However, in practice does not mean that to join anything, from the 1st to the 8th tournament rather than the participation of teams from non-Kansai, and as of the rugby department (Keio has been abstained) for example Tokyo Soccer Club Ya from Kanto no that was join the Tokyo higher Normal.
