In 2022, Kumamoto finished in 4th place with 62 points and advanced to J1 promotion/relegation playoffs after an arguably surprising performance in the 2022 J2 League.

Roasso played against the 4th and 5th-placed teams of the J2 season, Oita Trinita and Montedio Yamagata, in matches that ended 1–1 and 2–2, respectively.

The traditional rival of Roasso Kumamoto is Kagoshima United, the prefectural neighbours and former Kyushu Soccer League fellows since 1983 until 2005, except 2001–2002.
