The club is backed by the Hoyo Group, a digital camera and auto parts manufacturer based in nearby Kunisaki.

The league decided to abandon the season and give the title to the 1st-placed team at that time, which was Verspah Oita.

Their J3 license was issued and granted only in the following 2022 season, which the club finished in 8th place, eight points off the promotion zone.

The current team's name, "Verspah", was coined by combining the Portuguese word "vermelho", which means "red", and the English word "spa", which represents hot springs (after famously known Beppu Onsen), and the initial letter "H" of the former team name Hoyo Oita.
