A great card from the Tokyo 2020 Olympics (which ran in 2021...COVID). The card says Harmony of Tradition and Modernity. It is also a card that includes postage on it.
Matsuyama 松山市 is the capital city of Ehime Prefecture 愛媛県 and has about 505 000 people. It is located on the island of Shikou 四国.
Ehime FC 愛媛フットボールクラブ is Matsuyama's representative in the J League. They compete in the third division, or J3 League. In 2023, they finished first in the league and will play in J2 in 2024. The club was formed in 1970 as the Matsuyama Soccer Club. It was renamed Ehime FC in 1995. For years they competed at the regional and prefecture level as there was already another Matsuyama team competing in the J League. The club was promoted to the J League in 2003, playing in the Japan Football League, the fourth tier of Japanese football. They won the JFL in 2005 and then spent the next 16 seasons in the J2 league. They were relegated in 2021, but, as I mentioned above, are back in J2 for 2024. They won the J3 championships with a 1-0 win over FC Imabari.The club is made up entirely of Japanese players except for Ben Duncan from Australia.
