Vanraure Hachinohe (ヴァンラーレ八戸,Vanrāre Hachinohe) is afootball club based inHachinohe, a city in the southeastern part ofAomori Prefecture in Japan. They currently play in theJ3 League, the Japanese third tier of professional football.
The name Vanraure comes from the combination of two Italian words:derivante, meaning "origin"; andaustrale, meaning "southern". It thus refers to the origin of the club in the southern area of Hachinohe, in the former village ofNangō.
The club was founded in 2006 as a merger of two football clubs; Hachinohe Industry SC (八戸工業サッカークラブ) and Nango FC (南郷FC) and joinedTōhoku League Division 2 North. Since 2008 the club's aim was to become a professional club and joinJ.League. In 2011, because ofTōhoku earthquake and tsunami, the two blocks of Tōhoku Division 2 were temporarily merged into a single group with no promotion, and Vanraure won the merged Division 2 title for the first time. In 2012 they returned to Division 2 North and were only able to finish in second place behindGanju Iwate, but won the promotion playoff againstCobaltore Onagawa, who were also promoted becauseFukushima United gained promotion toJFL.
With the introduction ofJ3 League for 2014, the club applied forJ. League Associate Membership in June 2013[1] and were approved in September 2013.[2] The J3 license was postponed until the next evaluation in 2014 due to their stadium not meeting league requirements.[3]
Because of vacancies left by some clubs that made up the J3 League, JFL selected other clubs besides the 2013Regional League promotion series winners who had submitted an application. Vanraure was one of four clubs by application to be promoted and competed in JFL for the first time in 2014.[4] In July 2015, Vanraure won the Apertura Championship[5] but lost to Clausura championSony Sendai FC on penalties in the two-leg championship stage after a tie on aggregate.
After several attempts, Vanraure finally were promoted toJ3 League in2018; they achieved 3rd place behindHonda FC andFC Osaka, which allowed them to earn a professional spot for 2019.[6]
Vanraure Hachinohe acquired a J2 license on 2021, which allows promotion to the J2 once the club finishes the season in a qualifying position.
