Iwaki FC

Iwaki FC (いわきFC, Iwaki FC) is a football (soccer) club based in Iwaki, a city in Fukushima Prefecture, Japan. The club currently play in Japan Football League, which is the 4th level in the Japanese football pyramid.

Iwaki FC was founded in 2012, before getting official recognition in 2013 with the creation of their homonymous corporation. The club name got more attention when Under Armour decided to join the club and support it to climb the Japanese football pyramid from the bottom. There had been a big vision behind the club, with the will of "making Iwaki the central football-city in Tohoku". In fact, a new training field opened in November 2016 and the club-house was just launched in May 2017: two central structures to rise to the top of Japanese football.
