Verspah Oita (ヴェルスパ大分, Verspah Ōita) is a Japanese football club currently competing in the Japan Football League.[2] The year 2012 is their first year in the JFL after they were promoted from the 2011 Kyushu Soccer League.
The club was formed in 2003 as Hoyo FC. In 2005 they changed their name to Hoyo Atletico Elan, the name in which they competed for many years in the Kyushu Football League. The club is backed by the Hoyo Group, a digital camera and auto parts manufacturer based in nearby Kunisaki. In 2010 they changed their name to Hoyo Atletico Elan Oita. In 2011, they changed their name to Hoyo AC Elan Oita, they won the Kyushu Championship and then earned third place in the Regional League promotion series, and qualified to compete in the JFL beginning in 2012. In 2012, they changed their name to Hoyo Oita.
In December 2013, the club tried to get closer ties to the community and therefore made another name change, this time to Verspah Oita (ヴェルスパ大分, Verspah Ōita), for 2014 season onwards.[3]
Team name
The current team's name, "Verspah", was coined by combining the Portuguese word "vermelho" meaning "red", the team colour "vermelho", the English word "spa" meaning hot spring (after Beppu Onsen), and the initial letter "H" of the former team name "HOYO.
Home Towns
The main home towns are Beppu and Yufu, on 28 June 2022, at a J.League Board of Directors meeting,[4] they approved the addition of Ōita city.
