Okinawa Sport-Verein (沖縄スポーツクラブ, Okinawa Supōtsukurabu), commonly known as Okinawa SV (沖縄SV, Okinawa Esufau) is a Japanese football club based in the cities of Tomigusuku and Uruma, which are located in Okinawa Prefecture. Okinawa play in the Japan Football League, Japanese 4th tier of league football.
After leaving SC Sagamihara and retiring from professional football, former Japan national team international Naohiro Takahara decided to found a new club in Okinawa.[1] The main part of the club's identity comes from two overseas clubs, in which Takahara played in during his career. The name of the club was inspired by German Hamburger SV, which influenced Takahara to found the club as Okinawa Sport-Verein (a German term meaning "sports club").[2] The kit's colours and its design are inspired by Argentinian Boca Juniors, who uses blue and yellow colors in their kits since 1907.[3][4]
Takahara set himself as president, manager-player and captain, helping the Kyushu-based club to start from the bottom of Japanese football. In their first year, on 2016, Okinawa SV featured in the 3rd division of the Okinawa Prefectural League in a highly successful debut, remaining unbeaten while also scoring 123 goals, and only conceding a single one. The Okinawa Football Association opted to give the club a free pass to join the 1st Division of the Prefectural League. In their second season, Okinawa SV achieved another promotion, now to the Kyushu Soccer League.
On 27 November 2022, Okinawa SV was promoted to JFL for the first time in their history. They were assured of promotion after defeating FC Kariya by 4–0 in their last match in the Regional Champions League final round. Okinawa SV just needed 6 seasons to jump from the 3rd division of Okinawa Prefectural League to the national stage, in Japan's 4th division.
On 2 December 2023, Okinawa SV secure stay in JFL after defeat Vonds Ichihara scores by 2–1 in 2023 JFL promotion relegation play-off due to finish 15th place after worst performance in club.
