Vegalta Sendai

One thing many university students enjoy about Sendai is the active sports scene. The city boasts three professional teams: Vegalta Sendai (soccer), the Rakuten Golden Eagles (baseball) and the Sendai 89ers (basketball).
Recently a women's football club, Vegalta Sendai Ladies, was also founded.
