AC Nagano Parceiro ( AC長野パルセイロ ) was one of the twelve teams chosen (the 'original-11', plus the J-League under 22 selection squad) to participate in the 2014 inaugural season of the professional J3 League Japanese football competition. They were one of only four teams in the league licensed for the J2 League, and therefore eligible to promotion to J2 at the end of the season.
One of the major qualifications for obtaining the J2 league licence was the development of a suitable stadium. With construction of the new stadium beginning in early 2014, AC Nagano Paceiro played their home games for the season at Saku City Athletic Stadium, and Nagano Athletic Stadium. The new 15,491 capacity stadium was originally scheduled to be completed in 2016, but the project was shorted to just 8 months so that the club could use the stadium in the event that they were promoted to the J2 League.
The regular 2014 season consisted of 33 rounds, played between March 9, 2014, and November 23, 2014, with a two leg home and away relegation series played on November 30, 2014, and December 7, 2014.
Having placed second by the end of the regular season, AC Nagano Parceiro took part on the relegation series against the second lowest ranking J2 team, Kamatamare Sanuki. The first game, played at home was a 0:0 draw, and the second game, played away, was won 1:0 by Kamatamare Sanuki, meaning that AC Nagano Parceiro remained in the J3 League for the 2015 season.
