SEASON STORY
_________________
We experienced a surprising second season where Fukuoka won the AFC Champions League in their cup debut! Sadly we also came up 2 points short to win the J1 League title and we lost the Levain Cup final to Nagoya.
A few important players have left the team and with the arrival of new faces, it is time to go for ultimate football glory, to win the treble! This has not been completed by a Japanese side since 1987! At the time this incredible feat was completed by the club we currently know as Tokyo Verdy!
Time to write history boys!
