Sanfrecce Hiroshima

You can stroll through the history of Japanese Football and if you talk to fans of Sanferrec for a short time, you will quickly realize that their fandom is on another level.
When asked about football and violence between fans, as is often the case in Europe, you first saw only question marks and then got the answer: "Such behaviour would harm the club and all fans! Why would you do such a thing?"

Interesting is also the connection to Germany as it was Dettmar Cramer who built the base for the success at the Olympics in Mexico with bronze in 1968

To be honest I am not a fan of football but this clubs history got me.

Sanfrecce a coinage that combines the Japanese "san" (3) with the Italian "frecce" (arrows).
The 3 arrows supporting the team are local people, local government & local businesses and should also represent technique, tactics & strength.

I’m excited about this one, if true! Gaul’s all about high press and transition moments — should be fun to watch, at the very least. #Sanfrecce
