Suzuyo Shimizu FC Lovely Ladies (鈴与清水FCラブリーレディース) was a women's football team which played in Division 1 of Japan's Nadeshiko League. It was one of the founding clubs in the league when it was created in 1989. The club was disbanded in 1999.

Founding

[edit]

The Suzuyo Shimizu FC Lovely Ladies team was a new team created specifically for the new Japan Women’s Football League competition, mostly using the best players from the previous Shimizudaihachi SC team, which had been dominant in the Shizuoka League, winning 7 consecutive titles between 1980 and 1986, but which was unable to afford to participate in the new completion. The players chosen to move to the new team were forward Etsuko Handa, midfielders Chiaki Yamada and Futaba Kioka, and defender Sayuri Yamaguchi.[1]

Along with these veteran players, the team chose a number of younger players, and also imported a foreign player - a practice which was common in men’s teams of the era, but unusual until that point in Japan’s domestic women’s competitions.[1]

The foreign players signed to the team at its creation in 1989 were forward Chou Tai-ying, a Taiwanese player who had been playing professionally in Germany, and led the scoring for the club in the 1989 season with 12 goals.[1]

The Suzuyo Shimizu F.C. Lovely Ladies won the inaugural Nadeshiko League in 1989.[2]
