Gamba Osaka ( Japanese ガ ン バ 大阪 , Gamba Ōsaka ) is a Japanese football club . He is a founding member of the local professional league J. League and its two-time champion.
history
The team from Suita , a city in Osaka prefecture , was founded in 1980 in Nara prefecture as a works team for the electronics company Matsushita (now Panasonic ). Under the name Matsushita Denki Sangyō Soccer-bu (( 松下 電器 産業 サ ッ カ ー 部 ), Matsushita for short ; English Matsushita FC ) they won the Japanese Cup in 1990 .
The association is now a stock corporation founded in 1991, the KK Gamba Ōsaka (English Gamba Ōsaka Co., Ltd.), which is majority owned by Panasonic; other shareholders are Kansai Denryoku , Ōsaka Gas and JR Nishi-Nihon .
There are two explanations for the club name Gamba , which probably both apply (when the J. League was founded, it was common practice to give former works teams new, Europeanized names): on the one hand, gamba means something like leg in Italian , on the other hand, gambaru is Japanese Verb for “fight resolutely” and the imperative gambare a popular cheer in Japan. In keeping with the Italian-Japanese name, the club colors and jersey were blue-black, which on the one hand reflects the company colors of Panasonic and on the other hand is reminiscent of the Club Atalanta Bergamo, which is known in Japan .
Gamba initially one of the weakest teams in the league and was not infrequently at the bottom of the table, but never rose from the first division. Better placements were achieved from 1997, when the Cameroonian Patrick M'Boma (33 goals in 40 games) was able to sign a real international star who almost led Gamba to the championship final. In the second half of 1997, the club was at the top of the table four game days before the end, but ended the season only in fourth place. In 2005, the team was able to wrest the title from local rivals Cerezo in stoppage time in one of the most exciting finals in football history (on the last day of the match five teams had a chance to win the title, and the league lead changed four times in the last 90 minutes) became Japanese champion for the first time.
In the following years, gamba established itself in the top region of the table and, with one exception (2008: 8th place), always ended up in second or third place. In the 2012 season there was a total crash and relegation to the 2nd division . The time of the second division was limited to one season, as Gamba managed to rise again as the undisputed leader of the table. In the year after the return , the start was not very successful with a win and the relegation place 16 after 6 game days. In the further course of the season Gamba climbed to 2nd place and even took first place from Urawa Red Diamonds on the penultimate matchday . At the end of the season, the second championship in the club's history was determined by a 0-0 win at Tokushima Vortis , as the pursuers Urawa Red Diamonds lost 2-1 to Nagoya Grampus .
