Team Info
V-Varen Nagasaki is a professional football club based in Nagasaki, Japan, competing in the top-tier Japanese J1 League. The club's full name is V-Varen Nagasaki, with "V-Varen" meaning "to sail" in Esperanto, reflecting Nagasaki's historic port city status. They play at the Transcosmos Stadium Nagasaki. Founded in 2004, the club's colors are orange, white, and blue. The club was established with a vision to bring professional football to Nagasaki Prefecture. Their early years saw a rapid rise through the regional leagues. A key era arrived when they earned promotion to J2 in 2012 and then achieved a historic first promotion to J1 in 2017 under manager Takayuki Yoshida, a monumental moment for the fledgling club. They have since become a yo-yo club between J1 and J2, known for their fighting spirit. The modern era sees V-Varen back in J1, aiming to establish a more permanent foothold in the top division with a squad built on solid defense and quick transitions. The club has cultivated a loyal and growing fan base, with matchdays offering a vibrant seaside atmosphere. V-Varen Nagasaki embodies the resilient spirit of its city, sailing against the tides of Japan's competitive football landscape.
