Name origin

The name Vanraure comes from the combination of two Italian words: derivante, meaning "origin"; and australe, meaning "southern". It thus refers to the origin of the club in the southern area of Hachinohe, in the former village of Nangō.

Fukushima United gained promotion to JFL

.

With the introduction of

J. League Associate Membership in June 2013^[1] and got the approval in September 2013.^[2] But because of the stadium not met the requirements yet, their J3 license has been postponed until next evaluation in 2014 and only can get promotion to J3 until 2015.^[3]

Because of vacancies left by some clubs that made up the J3 League, JFL had to select other clubs besides the 2013

Regional League promotion series winners who have submitted an application. Vanraure was selected as one of four clubs by application to get promotion and competed in JFL for the first time in 2014.^[4] In July 2015, Vanraure won the Apertura Championship^[5] but lost to Clausura champion Sony Sendai FC

on penalties in the two-leg championship stage after a tie on aggregate.

After a couple of attempts, Vanraure finally got promoted to J3 League in 2018; they achieved 3rd place behind Honda FC and FC Osaka, a sufficient result to unlock a professional spot for 2019.^[6]
