History
The team started in 1996 as an old girls' club for students of Jumonji Middle School in Toshima Ward, Tokyo. In 2014 they adopted the name "FC Jumonji Ventus" from the Latin word for wind and as a pun on Italian giants Juventus. In 2021 they merged with male club Omiya Ardija, across the prefectural border in Saitama, to participate in WE League.
On 6 November 2024, Omiya Ardija Ventus announced they would officially change their name to Red Bull Omiya Ardija Women from 2025, after being acquired by Red Bull GmbH.[2]
