TOKYO - Weekend football matches in
Japan's J-League have been cancelled because of the devastating
earthquake that hit north of Tokyo on Friday, killing many and
triggering a tsunami.
A total of 19 matches in the J-League, whose 2011 season
only began last weekend, and the second division were postponed
the league said in a short statement after the biggest
earthquake to hit Japan in 140 years struck the north-east coast.
Four J-League teams are also scheduled to take part in the
Asian Champions League on Tuesday and Wednesday.
