History
Founded in 1995, ReinMeer Aomori was managed by Aomori City Football Association, which picked players from existing clubs. The name was originated by the mix of two German, Rein (clean) and Meer (sea). The name was picked to symbolize the nature of Aomori. The logo features the main protagonist of Aomori Nebuta Matsuri.
In 2016, they played for the first time in Japan Football League (in which they are going to play their 8th season on 2023) and ReinMeer hopes to reach J1 League by 2030.[1]
