Veertien Mie (ヴィアティン三重, Viatin Mie) is a Japanese football club based between Kuwana and Yokkaichi, Mie Prefecture. They currently play in the Japan Football League, Japanese fourth tier of league football.
History
"Veertien" means "fourteen" in Dutch, after Johan Cruijff's playing number. As with V-Varen Nagasaki, their colours are orange with traces of blue. Founded as Veertien FC in 2012 to bring a team from Mie Prefecture to professional football in Japan, Doru Isac was invited to overview the activities at the club. After using the name Veertien Kuwana for two seasons from 2013, they converted the identity from the 2015 season to Veertien Mie.
Results came rapidly, since the club was able to clinch five promotions in a row, from the 3rd division of the Mie Prefectural League to the Japan Football League for the 2017 season. They also featured in one edition of the Emperor's Cup, reaching the 2nd round in 2014 and losing to Cerezo Osaka only after extra time.
Le club a été fondé en 2003 sous le nom de "Yokkaichi Valiente FC" et a adopté son nom actuel en 2010. Veertien Mie a remporté la JFL en 2015 et a été promu en J3 League pour la première fois en 2016.
Les couleurs du club sont le bleu et le blanc. Son surnom est "MieTan", qui vient de Mie et de Tan (le mot japonais pour ballon).
L'entraîneur actuel de Veertien Mie est Koichiro Katafuchi. Les joueurs les plus connus du club sont l'attaquant Daiki Watari et le milieu de terrain Kenta Kasai.
