History
Kofu Club (1965–1994)
The Kakujo Club, an old boys’ club from Kofu Dai-ichi High School, began recruiting graduates of other high schools in 1965 with the objective of gaining promotion to the Japan Soccer League.
This was the year that the Kakujo Club also formed the club that bears its name. In 1972, the club became a member of the JSL Division 2 when it had just been established. They remained there until the end of the league in 1992, which was also the year that they became a founding member of the league that was formerly known as the Japan Football League.
In contrast to other mainstream football clubs in Japan at the time, Kofu Club was founded by unpaid volunteers. The majority of the players for those other clubs were employees of the businesses who sponsored them.
Ventforet Kofu (1995–present)
The team was rebranded as Ventforet Kofu in the year 1995, and it debuted in the J.League Division 2 the following year, in 1999. Between the years 1999 and 2001, the club through a terrible period in which it suffered financial difficulties as well as miserable results on the pitch, including a string of twenty-five consecutive losses. Despite these challenges, the team was able to emerge victorious.
After finishing in last place for each of the past three seasons in a row, Ventforet was given the nickname “Excess luggage of J2.” Ventforet showed remarkable improvement in 2002, and in 2005 they ended in third place, earning them promotion to the Japanese first division by virtue of their victory over Kashiwa Reysol in the promotion/relegation play-offs.
However, with only one week left in the 2007 season, the squad was demoted to a lower division. The squad earned a promotion for a second time at the conclusion of the 2010 season. The team was once again demoted at the end of the 2011 season, despite the fact that striker Mike Havenaar was in contention for the award for the top scorer in division one the following year.
Nevertheless, it returned after only one year’s absence as winners of division two. This was Ventforet’s first championship in its thirty-six year history, and it came after only one year’s absence. To the end of the 2017 season, Ventforet competed in the top flight of the Japanese League.
