History

The club was born on September 28, 2006 from the merger of FC Kanatsu and Maruoka Phoenix.[1] The name Saurcos comes from the combination of two English words: saur from "dinosaur" and cos from "corps", referring to army corps. It was chosen between three possible choices after a poll between fans, linking also with their mascot, the Fukuiraptor, a dinosaur lived in Japan during the Cretaceous.[2] The logo also presents the Narcissus, a plant typical of this region. The near city of Awara hosts the club's training sessions.[3]
