According to a survey conducted in Japan between June and July of 2022, non-professional soccer games, such as high school soccer, university soccer and games played in the Japan Football League (JFL) were the live events with the highest annual frequency of attendance by fans, reaching approximately 3.5 times per year on average. Considering that professional games have a higher total number of visits but a lower frequency per person than non-professional ones, one possible reason for the discrepancy might be that smaller events were less affected by COVID-19 restrictions compared to large gatherings.
