Vanraure Hachinohe (ヴァンラーレ八戸, Vanrāre Hachinohe) is a football club based in Hachinohe, a city in the southeastern part of Aomori Prefecture in Japan. They currently play in the J3 League, Japanese third tier of professional football. The name Vanraure comes from the combination of two Italian words: derivante, meaning "origin"; and australe, meaning "southern". It thus refers to the origin of the club in the southern area of Hachinohe, in the former village of Nangō. The club was founded in 2006 as a merger of two football clubs; Hachinohe Industry SC (八戸工業サッカークラブ) and Nango FC (南郷FC) and joined Tōhoku League Division 2 North. Since 2008 the club's aim was to become a professional club and join J.League. In 2011, because of Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami, the two blocks of Tōhoku Division 2 temporarily merge into a single group, with no promotion, and Vanraure won the merged Division 2 title for the first time. In 2012 they were back to Division 2 North and they were only able to finish in second place to Ganju Iwate but won the promotion playoff against Cobaltore Onagawa, who were also promoted because Fukushima United gained promotion to JFL.
