Wikipedia - Ryutsu Keizai Dragons Ryugasaki
Ryutsu Keizai Dragons Ryugasaki (流通経済大学ドラゴンズ龍ヶ崎, Ryūtsū Keizai Doragonsu Ryūgasaki) also known as RKD Ryūgasaki are a Japanese football club based in Ryūgasaki, Ibaraki Prefecture. They currently compete in the Kantō Soccer League Division 1, an amateur league in the country that corresponds to Japan's 5th-tier league. Their team colours are grey and navy after the colours of Ryutsu Keizai University, the institution they are affiliated with as satellite team.
History
Founded in 2001 as Ryugasaki FC, the team started competing in the lower divisions of the Ibaraki Prefecture Leagues. Although established as an independent NPO, the club was mainly made up of student players from Ryutsu Keizai University and acted as a farm team for Ryutsu Keizai University, which at the time played in the Kanto University League and joined the JFL in 2005.
In 2003, the club renamed itself Club Dragons (クラブ・ドラゴンズ). In 2005, they earned promotion to the Kantō Soccer League Division 2, won the championship right away, and have been competing in Kantō League D1 since 2006. They were relegated twice, in 2010 and 2013, but both times spent only one season in Division 2 before bouncing back.
In 2014, the Dragons made it to the final of the Shakaijin Cup, earning a spot in the Regional League promotion series , even though they had played the season in the second division of the Kantō League. They secured third place in the promotion tournament and were officially promoted to the 2015 Japan Football League. With their promotion, the club decided to rename themselves Ryutsu Keizai Dragons Ryugasaki starting in 2015.
In 2019, RKU Dragons Ryugasaki were relegated to the Japanese Regional Leagues starting in 2020, following a five-year run in the JFL.
In 2023, after finishing in 10th place in Kanto Division 1, they were relegated to Kanto Division 2. They spent only the 2024 season in Division 2, earning promotion back to Division 1 as champions. However, after finishing in ninth place in the 2025 season, they were relegated once again to Division 2.
The Dragons are recognized for their dynamic playing style, characterized by quick passing, strategic teamwork, and a strong emphasis on youth development. The team's colors, typically a vibrant mix of blue and white, symbolize their determination and unity on the field.
With a dedicated fan base, the Ryutsu Keizai Dragons play their home matches at the university's stadium, where they create an electrifying atmosphere that inspires both players and supporters alike. The team has a rich history of success in various tournaments, consistently striving for excellence and aiming to elevate their status within the Japanese soccer landscape.
Off the field, the Dragons are committed to fostering sportsmanship, discipline, and academic achievement among their players, embodying the values of Ryutsu Keizai University.
