ASC Hokkaido is a non-profit organisation located in Tomakomai City, Hokkaido, which operates sports clubs centred on soccer. They are aiming to join the J.League.
Overview
[edit]Founded in 2004, the "Atsuma Sports Club" was originally located in Atsuma Town. The club underwent a rebranding in 2011, adopting the name ASC Hokkaido and relocating to Tomakomai City. Despite the move, the club's activities extend beyond Tomakomai, encompassing the wider Higashi-Iburi region. [1]
The "Atsuma Sports Club" established a women's team, "FC Adooma" (which was later renamed "ASC Adooma"), in 2004. This team eventually split off and relocated to Sapporo City, becoming "Nordea Hokkaido."[2] Subsequently, in 2012, the "ASC Ladies," a junior high school women's team, was formed. They competed in the Hokkaido Women's Soccer League from 2018 to 2020.
In 2016, the U-15 team competed in their first national tournament, the 21st All Japan Youth (U-15) Futsal Tournament, and secured the runners-up position. [3]
The team first competed in the 26th National Club Team Football Championship in 2019. They secured a victory in the Hokkaido Block League in 2021, followed by a win in the B block of the subsequent block league finals, which led to their promotion to the Hokkaido Soccer League.
It is one of the clubs aiming to join the J. League.[4]
In addition to running a soccer club, the club also offers kickboxing classes.
