is a football club team based in Hirosaki, Aomori. They currently play in Tohoku Soccer League, which part of Japanese Regional Leagues. It was founded in 2012 and aims to be a future J. League member.[1]
Blancdieu is a coined word of blanc (white in French) and Dieu (God in French) and has the meaning of the white God of the Shirakami-Sanchi Mountains.
Established in 2012, the team clinched the Aomori Prefecture Adult Soccer League Division 1 title that year. In 2013, they earned promotion to the Tohoku Adult Soccer League Division 2 North, finishing as runners-up. The subsequent season saw them win Division 2 North, ascending to the top division for the 2015 season. They achieved their first Tohoku League Division 1 victory in 2018 as a team from Aomori Prefecture and took part in the All-Japan Regional Football Champions League 2018, only to be ousted in the initial round. Despite finishing second in the league in 2019, they entered the regional Champions League under tournament rules but faced elimination in the first round. They reclaimed the league title in 2020 but were again eliminated early in the Regional Champions League, marking their third consecutive first-round exit. The 2020 season saw Brandu Hirosaki Co., Ltd., established in October 2019, take over as the operating company. In 2023, they secured the league title once more since their last win in 2020, qualifying for the Champions League, yet they were eliminated in the first round after two draws and one loss. In 2024, they defended their league championship title with an undefeated season, boasting seventeen victories and a single draw. However, their journey in the Regional Champions League concluded with three losses in Group B, resulting in a last-place finish.
