A major factor in the growth of women's college soccer was the passage of the <a href="/wiki/Education_Amendments_of_1972" title="Education Amendments of 1972">Education Amendments of 1972</a>, which included <a href="/wiki/Title_IX" title="Title IX">Title IX</a> that mandated equal access and equal spending on athletic programs at college institutions.

One major difference in the growth of women's college soccer unlike men's college soccer, was that it did not start primarily in one region of the country and spread through the decades. With help from men's soccer, the women's program was able to take root all over the country at once and grow from there.

Soccer is no exception, and the vestiges of this tradition continue for a long time. Until the establishment of the old <a href="/wiki/Japan_Soccer_League" title="Japan Soccer League">Japan_Soccer_League</a>, which consisted mainly of amateur adult players, after the <a href="/wiki/1964_Tokyo_Olympics" class="mw-redirect" title="1964 Tokyo Olympics">1964 Tokyo Olympics</a>, the <a href="/wiki/Japan_national_football_team" title="Japan national football team">Japan national football team</a> consisted mainly of university students and their graduates. The Japan League teams also did not have training academies, but instead recruited players who had played for high school(see also:Japan_High_School_Soccer_<a href="https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E9%AB%98%E6%A0%A1%E3%82%B5%E3%83%83%E3%82%AB%E3%83%BC" class="extiw" title="ja:高校サッカー">ja:高校サッカー</a>) or university teams. In other words, Japanese university soccer teams were a valuable source of supply for Japan League teams. Therefore, from 1993, when the professional <a href="/wiki/J.League" title="J.League">J.League</a> was founded and had a training organization, until <a href="/wiki/1998_FIFA_World_Cup" title="1998 FIFA World Cup">1998_FIFA_World_Cup</a>, many of the members of the Japanese national team were university graduates.<sup id="cite_ref-44" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-44"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>37<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Many college soccer players in Japan, which has a similar "college soccer to national team" pipeline as found in the United States, have gone on to represent their national teams. Nine players of the <a href="/wiki/Japan_national_football_team" title="Japan national football team">Japan national football team</a> at the <a href="/wiki/2022_FIFA_World_Cup" title="2022 FIFA World Cup">2022 FIFA World Cup</a> have a college soccer background.<sup id="cite_ref-45" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-45"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>38<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Since 1993, the majority of the players who joined the J. League clubs came from developmental organizations and immediately after high school, rather than from the universities. <a href="/wiki/Japan_national_under-20_football_team" title="Japan national under-20 football team">Japan_national_under-20_football_team</a> was also composed mainly of university soccer players for many years. However, the under-20_football_team that reached the final of the <a href="/wiki/1999_FIFA_U-20_World_Cup" class="mw-redirect" title="1999 FIFA U-20 World Cup">1999 FIFA U-20 World Cup</a> had only three university soccer players. The rest were players who had already joined J.League clubs. After 1993, the majority of players who joined university teams were players who were not scouted by J.League clubs. However, there were still cases where players were selected to the Japan_national_under-20_football_team or scouted by J.League clubs after developing their skills in university soccer teams, Universities remained the source of players. </p><p>In the 2022 national soccer team, college graduates will have more opportunities to play for their teams than immediate high school graduates. If a player is good enough to be selected for the national team, he can be an immediate asset, whether at university or when he joins a professional club, even if he has just joined. This meant that they could gain more game experience. Following this, <a href="/wiki/Japan_national_under-23_football_team" title="Japan national under-23 football team">Japan_national_under-23_football_team</a> that competed in the <a href="/wiki/2020_Summer_Olympics" title="2020 Summer Olympics">2020_Summer_Olympics</a>, on which the 2022 national team was based, was also going to employ a large number of university students.<a href="/wiki/Kaoru_Mitoma" title="Kaoru Mitoma">Kaoru_Mitoma</a>, a member of the Japan national football team at the 2022 FIFA World Cup, chose to go to university even though he could have joined the J.League team.
