Tanabe Pharmaceutical co-founded both the second tier (1972 Japan Soccer League Second Division) and third tier (1992 Japan Football League Division Two) of Japanese football with neighbors Kyoto Sanga FC and Vissel Kobe. However, unlike them, they never became a J. League club nor won the Emperor's Cup, though they came close in 1980 - the first finalist from the second tier.
