In 1998 the food company Japan Health Summit became the new main sponsor and in 1999 the association was given the current name Vegalta. At the same time there was a reorganization of the league system: The J. League Division 2 was introduced as the new second highest division; Vegalta Sendai started in this class from then on.
In the 2001 season, the club was able to achieve second place and thus move up to Division 1. Vegalta played in the first division for two years before relegating back to Division 2 in the 2003 season.
In the following five years the club was able to place itself among the best six teams in Division 2, but always missed the promotion ranks. In the 2009 season, they finally rose again to Division 1 as Division 2 champions. With a 2nd place in 2012 they qualified for the AFC Champions League .
