History
In March 2014, the head coach at Hosho Junior & Senior High School – Hiromi Matsuzaki – worked closely with Miyazaki Sangyo-keiei University to give Miyazaki a new team, someone which could try to climb Japanese football's pyramid.[1] The previous most-known club Estrela Miyazaki dissolved in 2009 and the region needed a new football face, since Miyazaki is one of the few prefecture to not host a professional football team in Japan.
J.FC Miyazaki (the "J" stands for "jump" to the J. League) immediately raised their level, conquering a spot in Kyushu Soccer League and qualifying to 2015 Emperor's Cup 1st round, after defeating home-rivals Tegevajaro Miyazaki. Giravanz Kitakyushu defeated J.FC Miyazaki, 2–1, in a tight match.
After winning the 2016 title, the club now hopes to reach professional football as soon as they can.
