Cerezo Osaka ( Japanese セ レ ッ ソ 大阪 , from Spanish : cerezo = cherry tree ) is a football club from Japan's professional league J. League . The club from Japan's third largest city, Osaka, can look back on a successful history as one of the strongest teams in the 1970s, but has not won a national title since professional football was introduced in the country in 1993. Cerezo is known in Japan for extraordinary bad luck in the Imperial Cup : since 1976 they have made it to the finals six times and lost six times. In 2017, the team was able to win the Kaiser Cup with a 2-1 win (n.V.) against Yokohama F. Marinos for the first time in 41 years.
Cerezo Osaka is currently playing two teams in the J. League. After two years in the J2 League, the first team has been back in the J1 League since the 2017 season . In addition, an U-23 team has been taking part in the J3 League since 2016 .
history
The association was founded in 1957 as a works team for the Osaka-based Yanmar Diesel concern , a manufacturer of tractors and other agricultural machinery. In the first few years, the Yanmar Diesel Football Club was a pure company sports group that served the physical exercise of the workforce, but in 1965 they joined the national amateur league Japan Soccer League (JSL), the forerunner of the J. League. This was soon followed by what football fans from the city today call the golden days of Osaka football: the sporting rise was announced in 1967 with the first participation in the final in the Kaiser Cup. The long-awaited cup victory and the JSL runner-up followed in the next year. Four league titles and two more cup wins followed by 1980 before Yanmar's star slowly faded. In 1990 - the club no longer played a major role in the battle for national titles - relegation from the JSL followed. This happened just as the plans for the introduction of professional football were starting in Japan, and Yanmar was not taken into account in these plans. Despite the direct resurgence, fans and players watched as ten other clubs founded the J. League, including, to their annoyance, local rival Matsushita , who was to represent the city nationwide under the new name Gamba Osaka .
Despite this, Yanmar pushed ahead with its own plans for professionalization and re-established itself in 1993 under the name Osaka Football Club . The team adopted the new name Cerezo Osaka , cerezo is Spanish for the cherry tree , which is the tree of Osaka. Similarly, a cherry blossom adorns the club's coat of arms and pink was chosen as the club color (this is an extremely rare color in football; otherwise almost only US Palermo wears pink jerseys). Under the new Brazilian managed coach Paulo Emilio in 1994 with the championship of the Japan Football League not only the hoped-for promotion to the J. League (next to Kashiwa Reysol ), but also the entry into the Cup final, although each with 0: 3 against Bellmare Hiratsuka was lost . Yanmar had already lost in the final in 1976, 1977 and 1983, and more defeats were to follow in 2001 and 2003, which earned Cerezo the reputation of an all-time runner-up in the competition.
The club, which succeeded in direct promotion to the first division after relegation in 2001, plays its home games at the Nagai Stadium in Osaka, which was also the venue for the 2002 World Cup . However, Cerezo's games are rarely sold out, as the Osaka area (in contrast to the Tokyo region ) has not yet developed a real soccer fan base and the local derbies with gamba attract relatively few spectators due to a lack of sporting quality. But the team also achieved impressive sporting successes: in addition to the three cup finals since the renaming from Yanmar to Cerezo , the 2000 season is particularly noteworthy, when the victory of the J. League first round and thus participation in the championship finals only missed in the extension of the last game has been. In 2005, Cerezo underpinned its image as "eternal runner-up" again in the most painful way: The table lead, which they had only taken over on the penultimate match day, was defended into stoppage time in the last game, only to be fifth with a late goal from FC Tokyo to fall behind and leave the title to Gamba of all people.
