Tsuku Football Club is a Sanpanese football club located in Tsuku.
History
The team finished the 2018-19 Sanpo Rigu 1 season in fifth place, qualifying for the EMUFA Cup.
In the 2019–20 EMUFA Cup, the team was placed in Group G; despite recording one draw and three losses, they finished second in the group and advanced to the Round of 16. In the Round of 16, they faced Frostfire Cyborges FC; after a 1-0 away defeat, they secured a 3-1 victory at home to advance to the quarter-finals. In the quarter-finals, they drew 3-3 away against Sporting Club, but were ultimately eliminated following a 5-3 defeat at home in extra time.
The team finished the 2019–20 Sanpo Rigu 1 season in sixth place with 22 points, narrowly missing out on a spot in the EMUFA Cup. Sanpantul collapsed in early 2021.
When Sanpantul was re-established, the club’s financial situation was poor, as some of its funds had been diverted into sports academy investments in Kunapura and Phinbella. Furthermore, by finishing sixth in the league—despite their success in the EMUFA Cup—the club had missed out on significant potential revenue. The team competed in Group B of the 2021–22 Sanpo Rigu 1 season, ultimately finishing in fifth place.
The team began searching for new investors, but club president Asai Kotaro emerged victorious in the elections held during an extraordinary general assembly. The team finished the 2022–23 Sanpo Rigu 1 season in fourth place with 14 points.
Asai Kotaro sold half of the club's shares to the fan group known as the "Red Samurai." In the 2024–25 Sanpo Rigu 1—played under a new format—the team finished fourth with 43 points, narrowly missing out on a spot in the EMUFA Champions' League.
The team concluded the 2024–25 Sanpo Rigu 1 season with 50 points; thanks to a superior goal difference over Miyaji FC, they secured the championship title for the first time in the club's history.
