Wikipedia - FC Gifu
Football Club Gifu (フットボールクラブ岐阜, Futtobōrukurabu Gifu), abbreviated as FC Gifu (FC岐阜, Efu Shī Gifu) is a Japanese football club based in Gifu, capital of Gifu Prefecture, Japan. They play in the J3 League, the third tier of Japanese professional football.
History
During the Japan Soccer League and former Japan Football League years, the city and prefecture of Gifu were represented by the Seino Transportation Co. (西濃運輸 Seinō Un'yu) works team, which was relegated from the old JFL for the last time in 1997 and folded shortly thereafter in January 1998.
The modern-day Gifu club was founded in 2001 (Seino's last manager Masayuki Katsuno was among the founders, and a former Seino player, Takashi Umeda, recently returned to town and joined the club following a decade-long stint with Oita Trinita). The club was promoted to the new Japan Football League in 2007 after beating Honda Lock S.C. in the promotion/relegation play-offs.
The team earned third place at the end of the 2007 season, meaning it qualified for promotion to J.League Division 2. On 3 December 2007, J. League approved a promotion for the team for the 2008 season.
The club finished the 2012 season in 21st place, narrowly missing out on relegation to the Japan Football League.
Between 2013 and 2018, the team has constantly been placed in the lower realms of J.League Division 2 (now renamed to J2 League) and narrowly avoiding relegation until 2019 when they finished last in the league and were relegated to J3 League. Since then the club has played in the J3 League.
FC Gifu is known for its strong emphasis on developing local talent and fostering a deep connection with its fan base. The club plays its home matches at the Gifu Memorial Center Stadium, which provides an intimate atmosphere for supporters to cheer on their team. The team's mascot, "Gifu-kun," embodies the region's culture and adds a fun, engaging element to match days.
Over the years, FC Gifu has built a reputation for its hardworking and resilient playing style, often showcasing a blend of youth and experience on the pitch. The club's commitment to community involvement and grassroots initiatives has made it a beloved institution in Gifu, as it strives to inspire the next generation of soccer players and fans. With a passionate following and a vision for growth, FC Gifu continues to aim for success in Japanese football while remaining deeply rooted in its local heritage.
