The game draws more than 30,000 fans every year. The 78th game will be played on December 17 this year.\n\nThe Koshien Bowl had long been the stage where the divisional champions of the East and West college leagues (Kanto Collegiate Football Association and Kansai Collegiate American Football Association respectively) meet.\n\nSince the 2009 season, the Bowl has become the championship game for the national college championships tournament, which is held between eight leagues around the country.\n<h2><strong>GAME RESULT<\/strong><\/h2>\n<div class=\"js-scrollable\">\n<table class=\"wikitable table01\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<th
