Team History

Cerezo Osaka Ladies U-15, the Cerezo Osaka academy team, was inaugurated in 2010 with 16 students in their first year of junior high school. Since then, it has not augmented its squad with players from other clubs, but instead began with the goal to develop and strengthen its players in the name of being the “ultimate development-oriented” team. Cerezo Osaka Ladies has Osaka and Sakai as its base of activities. Starting in 2013, “Sakai” was added to the name of the team, and it began holding matches in locations such as Sakai’s J-GREEN Sakai as well. The text “OSAKA SAKAI” appears on the right sleeve of the uniforms.

The Ladies includes both an academy and a top team, and it seeks to have “both an academy that priorities development over results and a top team that pursues results.” The team is young, with players primarily in their teens and twenties, but the Ladies team has the slogan “SAKURA SPECTACLE,” which is also the Cerezo Osaka Club philosophy, under which the players train daily in order to become players who can be active in the global arena.
