Kagoshima United FC ( Japanese 鹿 児 島 ユ ナ イ テ ッ ド FC Kagoshima Yunaiteddo Efu Shī ) is a Japanese football club from Kagoshima in the prefecture of the same name . He has been playing in the J2 League since 2019 .
history
The club was created in 2014 as a merger between Volca Kagoshima and FC Kagoshima .
Volca Kagoshima was founded in 1959 and has played in the Kyūshū Soccer League since 1973 . They took part in the national regional league finals five times , but never made it into the higher leagues.
FC Kagoshima was founded as Osumi NIFS United FC, the team of the National Institute for Fitness and Sport in Kanoya , in 1994. The promotion to the Kyushu Soccer League took place in 2004, the name was changed to FC Kagoshima in 2010.
Both teams initially tried independently to advance to the Japan Football League . The idea of a merger was first brought up in 2012 by the Kagoshima Prefecture Football Association, but talks between the clubs were initially unsuccessful. A deal was only concluded a year later, on the advice of the J. League . Since both teams also played their way through to the finals of the Regional League finals in 2013, where FC reached third place just ahead of Volca, the newly founded club began its existence in the Japan Football League 2014 .
In the Japanese amateur upper house, Kagoshima United played for the top places from the start. Third place was achieved at the end of the 2014 season, and fourth place a year later. This was ultimately enough for promotion, as United was the only one of the three J3 League candidates this season to land in the top four.
Stadion
The club plays its home games at Shiranami Stadium (白 波 ス タ ジ ア ム), the former Kagoshima Kamoike Stadium , in Kagoshima in Kagoshima Prefecture . The stadium, owned by Kagoshima Prefecture, has a capacity of 19,934 spectators.
