History

After leaving SC Sagamihara and professional football, former Japan NT member Naohiro Takahara opted to found a new club in Okinawa.[1] The name took inspiration from Hamburger SV, a former German club in Takahara's career: this inspired Okinawa Sport-Verein (a German term for "sports club")[2] and the kit's colours and design are inspired by other club from his career, the argentinian Boca Juniors[3].

Takahara set himself as president, manager-player and captain, helping the side from Kyushu to start from the bottom of Japanese football. In their first year, Okinawa SV featured in the third division of Okinawa Prefectural League, marking an incredible debut: all matches were won and they scored 123 goals. Okinawa Football Association opted to give OSV a free pass to join the first division of the prefectural championship. In their second season, Okinawa SV got promoted again, this time to Kyushu Soccer League.

gollark: I'm sure you'd like to think so.
gollark: GTech™ Apiary Site-182?
gollark: But is also very unhelpful.
