History
The team was originally known as the Kyoto Shiko Club when it was founded. It is considered to be one of the few “genuine” Japanese football clubs because it is only focused on the sport of football and is not affiliated with any other organization. In 1993, after the J.League was created, Kyoto Shiko Club, aided by funds from local new sponsors Kyocera and Nintendo, professionalized (though some players broke away and formed their own clubs; see below for more information) and joined the former Japan Football League under the new name Kyoto Purple Sanga. However, it was unable to rise to a Japan Soccer League First Division that was dominated by company teams, much like Ventforet Kofu.
Since they entered the J.League for the first time in 1996, Kyoto Sanga have been relegated three times, giving them the unfortunate distinction of being the club with the most relegations in the history of the league. At the conclusion of the 2000, 2003, and 2006 seasons, the squad was demoted to J2; this was more times than any other team.
Even though they had a large number of players with national team experience on their roster in 2003, they were relegated. Stars like Park Ji-sung and Daisuke Matsui have subsequently moved for richer pastures. By winning the promotion/relegation playoff in December 2007, the club elevated themselves back to J1 status for the fourth time in their entire history. On November 14, 2010, a 0-2 loss at home to Urawa Reds sealed Sanga’s relegation back to J2 and brought an end to their three-season stint in the top division.
