In an unusual movement, champions Meiji were invited to the 2024 Emperor's Cup by the JFA without having to play their prefectural qualifications to fill the vacant spot left by J1 side Urawa Red Diamonds following the riot caused by the fans after 0–3 loss against Nagoya Grampus in the 4th round of the 2023 tournament.[3]
