Current league the club is the Tōkai - Regional .

history

The club was founded in 1949 as a company team for the automotive supplier Nippon Denso under the name Nippon Densō Soccer-bu ( 日本 電 装 サ ッ カ ー 部 Nippon Densō Sakkā-bu ). After years of continuous participation in the Tōkai - Regionalliga reached the regional league finals a few times at the beginning of the 1990s . In 1993 Nippon Denso was able to win both competitions, but failed in the relegation games to the Japan Football League in 1994, first to JFL representative Kofu Soccer Club and then to NEC Yamagata , who had previously been left behind in the final round.

Ultimately, the ascent was two years late. In 1995, the club was able to claim both the regional league title and victory in the final round and this time also had the promotion mode on its side, which provided for direct promotion instead of relegation games. With the rise in the Japan Football League in 1996 a name change was accompanied; due to the renaming of the carrier company to DENSO , the club now played under the name Densō Soccer-bu ( デ ン ソ ー サ ッ カ ー 部 Densō Sakkā-bu ).

In 1999, DENSO SC was one of the founding members of the new Japan Football League . During this time around the turn of the millennium, the team achieved third place in 2000, their best result in the club's history. In 2002, however, the team fell back into mid-table and in 2004 the season even ended in last place; relegation was only avoided by the fact that two JFL clubs were promoted to J. League Division 2 this year .

At the end of the 2005 season, DENSO finally ended the association's decades of sponsorship. The club structure was converted into a non-profit organization and a naming competition was carried out, as a result of which the name was changed to FC Kariya . Due to the now no longer so abundant financial resources, the annual loss of quality of the team was accelerated, so that at the end of the 2009 season, relegation back to the Tōkai regional league had to be accepted; as the penultimate of the Japan Football League 2009 , the team failed in two relegation games against branches Kanazawa .

After a few years of consolidation in the Regionalliga, FC Kariya's recent past looked better again. In 2015, the club won the regional league championship, qualified for the regional league finals and achieved a respectable fourth place there. Also in 2016, the team is in first place in the table shortly before the end of the season.

Venue

Currently, FC Kariya plays its home games mainly in the multi-purpose stadium of the municipal sports park in Kariya , which has a capacity of 4,000 spectators.
