History

Saurcos Fukui (2006–2018)

The club was born on September 28, 2006, from the merger of FC Kanazu (from Kanazu, now part of Awara) and Maruoka Phoenix (from Maruoka, now part of Fukui city).[1] The name Saurcos comes from the combination of two English words: saur from "dinosaur" and cos from "corps", referring to army corps. It was chosen between three possible choices after a poll between fans, linking also with their mascot, the Fukuiraptor, a dinosaur lived in Japan during the Cretaceous.[2] The logo also presents the Narcissus, a plant typical of this region. The near city of Awara hosts the club's training sessions.[3]
