Atsushi Mio's Football Journey

Atsushi Mio was born in Yokohama, Japan, on January 26, 1983. He grew up loving football and joined the youth team of Shonan Bellmare. This was the start of his exciting career in professional football.

Starting His Professional Career

In 2001, Atsushi Mio joined Ventforet Kofu, a club in the J2 League. The J2 League is the second-highest division of professional football in Japan. Even though it was his first year, he played in many matches and showed his talent.

Playing for Kyoto Sanga FC

In 2002, Mio moved to Kyoto Purple Sanga, which was in the J1 League. The J1 League is the top professional football league in Japan. He didn't play much in his first two years there. In 2003, Kyoto Sanga FC moved down to the J2 League.

However, things changed for Mio in 2004. He started playing in many matches again. In 2005, his team, Kyoto Sanga FC, won the J2 League championship. This meant they were promoted back to the J1 League!

In 2006, even though Mio played a lot, Kyoto Sanga FC finished last in the J1 League and went back down to J2. In 2007, he didn't get to play as much.

Returning to Ventforet Kofu

In 2008, Atsushi Mio went back to Ventforet Kofu in the J2 League. This was seven years after he first played for them. He played in many games during the 2008 season. However, in 2009, he had fewer chances to play.

Time with Gainare Tottori

In 2010, Mio moved to Gainare Tottori, a club in the Japan Football League. This league was below the J2 League. He played in every single one of their 34 matches that year. Gainare Tottori won the championship in 2010.

Because they won, Gainare Tottori was promoted to the J2 League in 2011. Atsushi Mio continued to play in many matches for them until 2012.

Final Years with FC Gifu

In 2013, Atsushi Mio joined FC Gifu, another team in the J2 League. He was a regular player for them in 2013, meaning he played almost every game. In 2014, he played fewer matches. At the end of the 2014 season, Atsushi Mio decided to retire from professional football. He had a long and successful career, playing in 331 matches and scoring 29 goals in total.
