History

The club was born on September 28, 2006 from the merger of FC Kanatsu and Maruoka Phoenix. [1] The name of the club 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]

Fukuiraptor was a medium-sized megaraptoran theropod dinosaur of the Early Cretaceous that lived in what is now Japan.
