Shonan Bellmare ( Japanese 湘南 ベ ル マ ー レ , Shōnan berumāre , after the Shōnan area and from Italian bella mare = "beautiful sea") is a Japanese professional football club from the port city of Hiratsuka in Kanagawa prefecture . After an extremely successful period in the late 1970s, the club was relegated to the J. League Division 2 in 1999 after financial difficulties . After returning to the J. League Division 1 for the 2010 season, Bellmare has the status of an elevator team and regularly switches back and forth between the two highest professional leagues. At the beginning of the 2017 season, the team returns to the J2 League after two years in the J1 League.
history
The club was founded in 1968 under the name Tōwa Fudōsan Soccer-bu , English Towa Real Estate Development Soccer Club , in Tochigi Prefecture as a works team of the real estate company of the same name, a spin-off from the Zenekon KK Fujita-gumi. After it became more and more popular among the large industrial associations ( Keiretsu ) to adorn themselves with a high-class football club in the 60s and 70s , Fujita-gumi, now Fujita Kōgyō, soon became involved with Tōwa. The football team was renamed for the 1975 season in Fujita Kōgyō Soccer-bu (English Fujita Industries Soccer Club ).
This was followed by the most successful phase in the history of the club, with two doubles won from the championship and the Imperial Cup in 1977 and 1979 as well as a third championship title in 1981. But while with direct competitors such as Mitsubishi (today Urawa Red Diamonds ), Yanmar Diesel ( Cerezo Osaka ) or Furukawa ( JEF United Ichihara Chiba ) continued to invest heavily, Fujita fell back into midfield, but was able to hold out in the Japan Soccer League (JSL) until 1990 .
The reluctance of the management was also evident when the J. League was founded in 1992: Although qualified in sports, Fujita initially decided not to participate in the professional league and entered the newly created Japan Football League (JFL). Only when the club was established a year later as the first JFL champion, he decided to join the J. League. In addition, like the founding members, a new name was given: Bellmare Hiratsuka . The word Bellmare , which is based on the Italian bella mare (for "beautiful sea"), made the connection to the hometown Hiratsuka, which is located in Shonan , one of the most popular holiday regions on the main island of Honshu .
What followed was a renewed phase of success: in 1994 they won again in the Kaiser Cup and almost reached the final of the championship (in the end only one victory was missing to win the second half of the season), in the following season they secured themselves in the final against the Iraqi club Al Talaba won the Asian Cup Winners' Cup and thus their first international title. Then, however, a phase of decline set in, in which many critics blame conservative management for selling talent rather than investing in it. For example, Hidetoshi Nakata , perhaps the most important Japanese player of the late 1990s, was carelessly transferred to Italy's AC Perugia without an equivalent replacement being provided. In 1999 they rose from the bottom of the table.
As a result of relegation Fujita withdrew completely from the club, which then plunged into a major financial crisis. Only the commitment of the former star Nakata, whose Internet company stepped in as a sponsor, could prevent bankruptcy . A fundamental reorganization resulted in another name change, this time in Shonan Bellmare , in order to secure support from the entire region. Nevertheless, it was not until the end of the 2009 season before Bellmare found its way back on the road to success. Since then, the club has been moving back and forth between the top two professional leagues, promotions to the J1 League at the end of the 2009, 2012 and 2014 seasons contrasted with relegations to the J2 League at the end of the 2010, 2013 and 2016 seasons.
In its current form, the team was founded in 1999 as a joint stock company ( KK ) Shōnan Bellmare.
