history

The club was founded as the NTT Kumamoto Soccer Club in 1969. The club achieved promotion to the Kyushu Regional League in 1983.

In 1985 the club was following the privatization of the main sponsor and namesake NTT in NTT Kyushu Soccer Club renamed. After the division of NTT into West and East , the club was called NTT West Kumamoto Soccer Club from 1999 .

In 2001 the club achieved promotion to the third-tier Japan Football League for the first time and finished eighth straight away. In 2002, NTT withdrew the club ownership and the club took the name Alouette Kumamoto . It is named after the skylark , the symbol of Kumamoto prefecture. This season, the club relegated to the regional Kyushu League with a disappointing 17th place.

In 2005, the club named Rosso Kumamoto after the club's color. In the same year he was promoted to the Japan Football League . After the runner-up in the JFL in 2007, he was even promoted to the second-rate J. League Division 2 . After the rise, the club changed its name to its current form on January 1, 2008.

Due to a strong series of earthquakes in Kumamoto Prefecture and the resulting damage, Roasso Kumamoto was forced to completely suspend play during the 2016 season between mid-April and mid-May; the local Umakana Yokana Stadium remained unusable until July 2016.
