That is small for a club that has spent most of its life in the top flight.

Shimizu FC came together in February 1991, its squad drawn from players born in Shizuoka Prefecture, and two years later it lined up among the founding members of the J.League. Orange and blue were picked for the port and for Suruga Bay in front of it.

The trophies came in a tight run either side of the millennium. The League Cup arrived first, in 1996; then the Asian Cup Winners' Cup in 2000; then the Emperor's Cup in 2001, and the Super Cup in 2001 and again in 2002.

The last decade has been spent going up and down. Relegation in 2015 was answered at once: S-Pulse took J2 the following season and came straight back. The drop in 2022 took longer to undo, and promotion to J1 only followed in 2024.
