history
The association was founded in 1972 as a company team for the automotive supplier Jatco . For the 1983 season, the first promotion to the Tōkai - Regionalliga succeeded , where Jatco, however, could only hold for one season. After rising again for the 1985 season, the club played for long stretches year after year for the championship in the Tōkai regional league, only in 1989 and 1990 the team did not reach one of the top three places.
The time in the Regionalliga was Jatco FC's most successful period. Among other things, the championship was won four times during this period, and a second place was achieved in two further seasons. The highlight was the double from the championship and winning the regional league finals in 1996, which was synonymous with promotion to the Japan Football League .
After the dissolution of the Japan Football League at the end of the 1998 season , Jatco was a founding member of the successor league of the same name in 1999 . One year later, the carrier company was briefly renamed and from then on played under the name Jatco TT FC (for Jatco Trans Technology ), while the club's colors changed from blue-red to green-orange. The name change was reversed only two years later, after almost all of the company's players withdrew from the club despite reaching 3rd place in the Japan Football League in 2001 and Jatco was forced to become a de facto professional team overnight to be able to maintain game operations. The company did not last long, so that the team was dissolved at the end of the 2003 season .
Today, the region around the cities of Numazu and Fuji is represented nationally by azul claro Numazu , who made it to the Japan Football League in the 2014 season and who are aiming to join the J. League in the near future .
