Yokohama Sports & Culture Club (横浜スポーツ&カルチャークラブ, Yokohama Supōtsu Ando Karuchākurabu), commonly referred to as simply Y.S.C.C. or Y.S.C.C. Yokohama (Y.S.C.C.横浜 or simply YS横浜, Wai Esushishi Yokohama or simply Wai Esu Yokohama) is a Japanese multisports club based in Yokohama, Kanagawa Prefecture. Although they compete in a number of different sports, YSCC is best known for its association football team that set to play in Japan Football League from 2025 after relegation from J3 in 2024, Japanese fourth tier of football.[1]

History

The club was formed in 1986 by former ANA players under the name Yokohama Soccer & Culture Club. The "S" was changed to "Sports" in 2002.

Y.S.C.C. Yokohama was the starting point for many Yokohama Flügels and Yokohama F. Marinos players. When the Flügels folded in 1999, they supported the creation of Yokohama FC to replace them.

In 2012, they played Japan Football League for the first time and finished in 6th position.

After two seasons spent at JFL, YSCC Yokohama play in newly formed league, J3 from 2014.

On 7 December 2024, YSCC Yokohama secure relegation to Japan Football League after defeat from Kochi United SC 0-2 in 2nd leg of J3/JFL play-offs and lost aggregate 1-3, ended 11 years in third tier.


Stadium & training ground

Their home stadium is NHK Spring Mitsuzawa Football Stadium in Kanagawa Ward.

There are two practice grounds, Yokohama Country and Athletic Club and Sea Park Nagisa Ground.
