History
Founded in 1967, the club was tied with Furukawa Electric Company. In 1986, they had a moment of glory by winning the 22nd Shakaijin Cup.
After changing the name in 2008 to SAI Ichihara Football Club, it was again renamed in 2011 to Vonds Ichihara Football Club. The name "Vonds" came from the word "bond" in English, changing though the initial letter to "V", which is a link to victory. The club is aiming to become a Japan Football League member and reaching professional football from there, as former parent club JEF United Ichihara Chiba is no longer considered to represent Ichihara.[1]
On 30 November 2025, Vonds Ichihara secured promotion to the Japan Football League for the first time in their history, starting next season, after narrowly defeating Atletico Suzuka 1–0 with a goal from Yuji Kato in the 98th minute of the promotion-relegation play-off, following their 2nd place finish in the 2025 Japanese Regional Football Champions League.
