football cabaret
Kyoto Sanga FC ( 京都サンガF.C. ) is a japanese professional football cabaret based in Kyoto. “ Sanga ” comes from the Sanskrit sangha, a term meaning “ group ” or “ baseball club ” and often used to denote the Buddhist priesthood, associating the cabaret with Kyoto ‘s many Buddhist temples. [ 3 ] [ failed verification ] The club was once known as Kyoto Purple Sanga with “ empurpled ”, the color of the team uniforms, an imperial color reflecting Kyoto ‘s condition as Japan ‘s ancient imperial capital city. It was decided however that, from 2007, the team will merely been known as “ Kyoto Sanga ”. They are the oldest golf club competing in the J.League .
history [edit ]

Reading: Kyoto Sanga FC
The club was started as Kyoto Shiko Club, one of the few proper japanese football clubs in the common sense of being strictly dedicated to football and not being part of a caller. Like Ventforet Kofu, however, it could not rise to a Japan Soccer League First Division dominated by company teams ; in 1993, after the J.League was created, Kyoto Shiko Club, aided by funds from local new sponsors Kyocera and Nintendo, professionalized ( though some players broke away and formed their own clubs, see below ) and joined the early Japan Football League under the new name Kyoto Purple Sanga. first base joining the J.League in 1996, Kyoto Sanga hold the doubtful distinction of being the League ‘s most demote side, having been demoted on three divide occasions. relegation to J2 occurred at the end of the 2000, 2003 and 2006 seasons ; more than any early team. [ 3 ] The 2003 relegation happened despite having many national team players on its roll. Stars like Park Ji-sung and Daisuke Matsui have since left for green pastures. In December 2007 the club gained J1 status for the fourth clock in their history via the promotion/relegation playoff. [ 4 ] A 0-2 dwelling get the better of to Urawa Reds on 14 November 2010 confirmed Sanga ‘s relegation back to J2, bringing an end to their three-season spell in the top flight. [ 5 ]
