Wikipedia - Azul Claro Numazu

Azul Claro Numazu (アスルクラロ沼津, Asuru Kuraro Numazu) is a Japanese professional football team based in Numazu, Shizuoka Prefecture. They currently play in J3 League, the Japanese third tier of professional football.

History

Azul Claro Numazu was established in 1977 as Numazu Arsenal and slowly progressed through the tiers of Shizuoka prefectural leagues. In 2006 the club began the process of transformation into a professional organisation with the ultimate goal of joining the J.League. The same year the club adopted its current name, Azul Claro (Meaning "light blue" in Portuguese and Spanish).

In 2012 Azul Claro won promotion to Tōkai Adult Soccer League and quickly progressed through its ranks, spending only a season in each of its divisions. Though they have finished only fourth in 2013 Tōkai League, they were considered as serious contenders for admission to the newly created J3 League. On September 17, 2013, the club has been granted the J. League Associate Membership and passed all stages of licensing and inspection by the league. However, they were only the 3rd choice club for the only Regional League spot in J3 so eventually, they had to give way to Iwate Grulla Morioka. The club has won the promotion anyway though—they were selected by the Japan Football League board as one of the teams to play in the 2014 season.

After a 3rd-place finish in the 2016 season, they've been welcomed to play professional football from 2017 and onward, as they'll be the 14th original club in the J3 League.

On 24 October 2023, Azul Claro Numazu announced that the club was officially granted a J2 license after a decision by the J.League's Club Licensing Board.

Azul Claro Numazu is a professional soccer team based in Numazu, Shizuoka Prefecture, Japan. Founded in 2010, the club has quickly established itself as a competitive force in Japanese football, particularly in the J3 League, where it showcases a blend of emerging talent and experienced players. The team's name, which translates to "Clear Blue," reflects the vibrant colors of the ocean that surrounds the region, symbolizing both the club's identity and its aspirations.

The team's home matches are held at the Numazu Sports Park Stadium, a venue that fosters a passionate atmosphere among its dedicated fanbase. Azul Claro Numazu is known for its attacking style of play, emphasizing teamwork, skill, and a strong connection with the local community. The club actively engages with its supporters through various outreach programs and events, making it a beloved institution in the region.

With a commitment to developing young talent and promoting the sport at grassroots levels, Azul Claro Numazu aims to not only achieve success on the field but also to inspire the next generation of soccer players in Japan. As they continue to grow and evolve, the team remains focused on its goal of climbing the ranks of Japanese football and making a mark on the national stage.
