Wikipedia - Okinawa SV

Okinawa Sport-Verein (沖縄スポーツクラブ, Okinawa Supōtsukurabu), commonly known as Okinawa SV (沖縄SV, Okinawa Esufau) is a Japanese football club based in the cities of Tomigusuku and Uruma, which are located in Okinawa Prefecture. Okinawa play in the Japan Football League, Japanese 4th tier of league football.

History

After leaving SC Sagamihara and retiring from professional football, former Japan national team international Naohiro Takahara decided to setup a new club in Okinawa. The main part of the club's identity comes from two overseas clubs, in which Takahara played in during his career. The name of the club was inspired by Germany's Hamburger SV, which influenced Takahara to found the club as Okinawa Sport-Verein (a German term meaning "sports club"). The kit's colours and its design are inspired by Argentinian Boca Juniors, who have used blue and yellow colours in their kits since 1907.

Takahara set himself as president, manager-player and captain, helping the Kyushu-based club to start from the bottom of Japanese football. In their first year, on 2016, Okinawa SV played in the third division of the Okinawa Prefectural League in a successful debut season, going undefeated while also scoring 123 goals, and only conceding a single one. The Okinawa Football Association opted to give the club a free pass to join the 1st Division of the Prefectural League. In their second season, Okinawa SV achieved another promotion, now to the Kyushu Soccer League.

On 27 November 2022, Okinawa SV was promoted to JFL for the first time in their history. They were assured of promotion after defeating FC Kariya by 4–0 in their last match in the Regional Champions League final round. Okinawa SV just needed 6 seasons to jump from the 3rd division of Okinawa Prefectural League to the national stage, in Japan's 4th division.

On 2 December 2023, Okinawa SV managed to stay in JFL after defeating Vonds Ichihara by a score of 2–1 in 2023 JFL promotion relegation play-off due to finishing in 15th and last place.

Okinawa SV is a dynamic and passionate soccer team based in the picturesque Okinawa Prefecture of Japan. Established with the vision of promoting soccer in the region, the team embodies the spirit of the islands, combining skill, teamwork, and a deep-rooted love for the game.

Okinawa SV competes in Japan's lower leagues, showcasing a blend of local talent and experienced players who bring diverse backgrounds and styles to the pitch. The team's colors reflect the vibrant culture of Okinawa, with a logo that symbolizes the rich heritage and natural beauty of the islands.

The club is not just about soccer; it serves as a community hub, engaging with fans and local youth through various outreach programs and soccer clinics. With a strong emphasis on development, Okinawa SV aims to nurture young talent and inspire the next generation of soccer players.

Home matches are held at a local stadium, where fans gather to cheer passionately for their team, creating an electric atmosphere that highlights the close-knit community spirit. As Okinawa SV continues to grow and evolve, it remains committed to excellence on and off the field, striving to make a mark in Japanese soccer while celebrating the unique culture of Okinawa.
