Okinawa Kariyushi have announced the departure of fully half their 2006 first team in what amounts to a no-holds-barred clear-out at the end of what has in fact been a reasonably successful Kyushu League season. Nine players - including five regular starters - have left the club, who bounced back from an eighth place finish in 2005 to re-establish themselves as a competitive team at Regional level.
Football in the Okinawa archipelago finds itself in something of a state of flux at the moment, at the end of an unexpectedly turbulent season at neighbours FC Ryukyu. Kariyushi meanwhile seemed to be returning to an even keel after having collapsed as a result of their failure to reach the JFL several seasons ago, but fans will have to wait and see if such a drastic change as has just occurred reaps rewards next year.
