History

Founded in 1988 as "Tohoku Electric Power Co., Inc. Soccer Club", Vegalta joined the J-League in 1999 after playing a few years in the JFL, with the nickname "Brummell Sendai". When joining the J-League, the name Vegalta was chosen as a homage to the famous Tanabata festival in Sendai. The names of the two celestial stars of the Tanabata legend, "Vega" and "Altair" were combined to form "Vegalta".
