Perspective
The club was founded in 2005 under the denomination of Shiga FC; it quickly reached the Kansai Soccer League, despite having alternative form and results between 1st and 2nd division. In 2010, the name changed to Tojitsu Shiga FC, with the goal of aiming towards becoming a professional football club.[1]
In January 2008, they won the Kansai Prefectural Soccer League Finals and were promoted to the second division of the Kansai Soccer League. In 2008, they won the second division of the Kansai League and were promoted to the first division, but the following year, 2009, they finished seventh in the league and were relegated to the second division.
The club was renamed again in 2011, as Lagend Shiga FC: the denomination came from the mix of two English words, "Lake" (due to the presence of Lake Biwa in Shiga Prefecture) and "Legend", with a renovate will of reaching pro-football.[2] In 2015 it was also mentioned a possible merger with MIO Biwako Shiga, but the deal was never completed and then abandoned in September of that year.
In 2017, Lagend Shiga, alongside St. Andrew's University FC, were relegated to the second division of the Kansai Soccer League, but returned the following year, winning promotion to the 2019 Kansai Soccer League 1st Division. In 2020, they finished at the bottom of the league, but due to the COVID-19 global pandemic outbreak, there were no relegation or promotion between divisions in the Kansai Soccer League. Then, they were able to play the 2021 Kansai Soccer League in the 1st Division, finishing 6th in the league.
On 24 January 2025, the club announced that Lagend Shiga FC would disband and that the management corporation would relocate to become Velago Ikoma, from the city of Ikoma, Nara.[3][4] The club activities of Lagend Shiga FC came to an end after 2024 season.
