According to the NTT ‘s denationalization in 1985, the golf club was renamed as NTT Kyushu Soccer Club in 1988. During the NTT Kyushu earned run average, the club won five Kyushu Soccer League titles and one All Japan Senior Football Championship. The club changed their name again to NTT Kumamoto Football Club in 2000. The club changed their name to NTT West Kumamoto Football Club in 2001 as the NTT was divided into NTT East and NTT West. The clubhouse was promoted to the JFL in 2001. The NTT relinquished the ownership of the baseball club in 2002 and community-oriented Alouette Kumamoto Football Club was born.
