Sagan Tosu ( Japanese サ ガ ン 鳥 栖 ) is a Japanese football club in Tosu , Saga Prefecture . The club plays in the J1 League .

history

The term "sagan" has several meanings. In Japanese it is called sandstone ( 砂岩 ), among other things . This should reflect the club mentality, which is made of many small parts and becomes big and solid. In addition, the name can also simply mean Tosu in Saga in the local dialect. The third possibility is that the term should be based on the Italian series champion Juventus Turin ( Yuventosu in Japanese ), but this was not confirmed by the club.

Since the founding of the J. League Division 2 in 1999, Sagan Tosu played second class until they were promoted to the J. League Division 1 in 2011 as runner-up .
