The club was formed by fans of [[Yokohama Flügels]] as a protest against Flügels' merger with [[Yokohama F. Marinos|Yokohama Marinos]] in 1999, becoming the first supporter-owned professional sports team in Japan.<ref name=Hirose>{{cite book |author=Ichiro Hirose |script-title=ja:スポーツ・マネジメント入門 |language=ja |trans-title=Introduction to Sport Management |publisher=[[Toyo Keizai]] |page=123 |date=2014 |isbn=978-4492502600}}</ref> They are set to play in the [[J2 League]] from 2026–27, the second tier of Japanese football, after relegation from [[J1 League]] in [[2025 J1 League|2025]].

Since gaining J.League membership in 2001, Yokohama spent considerable time in the second tier of the [[Japanese football league system]]. The club gained promotion to [[J.League Division 1]] for the 2007 season after winning the Division 2 title. However, YFC were immediately relegated in the following season. After 12 years in the [[J2 League]], they returned to Japan's top tier, now called [[J1 League]], for the 2020 season. The team finished 15th in its first season back in the top flight. But history would repeat itself in 2021, as they were relegated to J2 after finishing the season as J1's last-place team. The team was promoted again to J1 from 2025 after one year stint second tier in 2024.

==History== [[File:Timeline of Yokohama Football Clubs.png|thumb|350px|Graphical timeline of Yokohama football clubs]] Yokohama was formed on 25 December 1998 following the merger of Yokohama's two [[J.League]] clubs, the [[Yokohama Flügels|Flügels]] and the [[Yokohama F. Marinos|Marinos]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://yokohamafc.com/club/club-information/|title=クラブ概要|access-date=25 December 2022|website=yokohamafc.com|publisher=Yokohama FC}}</ref> Flügels supporters felt that their club had essentially been dissolved rather than merged with, so rejected the suggestion that they should start supporting Marinos – who had been their crosstown rivals. Instead, with money raised through donations from the general public and an affiliation with talent management company [[IMG (company)|IMG]], the former Flügels supporters founded the Yokohama Fulie Sports Club.<ref>{{cite book |author=John Horne, Wolfram Manzenreiter |title=Japan, Korea and the 2002 World Cup |publisher=Routledge |page=101 |date=2013 |isbn=978-0415275637}}</ref> Following the ''socio'' model used by [[FC Barcelona]], the Fulie Sports Club created '''Yokohama Football Club''', the first professional sports team in Japan owned and operated by its supporters.<ref name=Hirose />

For its first season in 1999, Yokohama hired former [[Germany national football team|Germany national team]] and [[FIFA World Cup]] star [[Pierre Littbarski]] to be the manager and [[Yasuhiko Okudera]], the first Japanese footballer to play professionally in Europe, to be the chairman.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.japantimes.co.jp/sports/2000/07/27/soccer/j-league/yokohama-fc-struggling-to-survive-despite-jfl-success/ |title=Yokohama FC struggling to survive despite JFL success |author=Kumi Kinohara |publisher=[[Japan Times]] |date=27 July 2000 | access-date=26 February 2016 }}</ref> The club attempted to gain entry directly into the professional J.League, but the [[Japan Football Association]] only permitted entry to the amateur [[Japan Football League]] (JFL), at the time the third level of the [[Japanese football league system]], and ruled that the club would not be eligible for promotion into [[J.League Division 2]] at the end of its first season. So, despite finishing as JFL champion in [[1999 Japan Football League|1999]], Yokohama finished as JFL champion again in [[2000 Japan Football League|2000]] before being promoted to J.League Division 2.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.city.yokohama.lg.jp/seisaku/seisaku/chousa/kihou/143/kihou143-044-045.pdf |title=Interview with Tomio Tsujino |language=ja |publisher=[[Yokohama City]] |date=2012 |access-date=26 February 2016 |archive-date=4 March 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304103522/http://www.city.yokohama.lg.jp/seisaku/seisaku/chousa/kihou/143/kihou143-044-045.pdf |url-status=dead }}</ref>

Although they had a dire season in 2005, ending 11th out of 12, they were in the top half of table throughout the 2006 season. Yokohama had lost all of their pre-season matches, including against college teams; they later hired player-manager [[Takuya Takagi]], under whom they saw success. On 26 November 2006, they finished in the top spot of the [[J2 League]] and were promoted to the [[J. League 1]]. Yokohama's financial situation remained poor, with no ownership of their stadium or training ground, and few staff members. One of their players, [[Kazuyoshi Miura]], last played for the team at the age of 53, and a former player, [[Atsuhiro Miura]] (one of their main players before his 2010 retirement) was 36 when he last played for the club. These players once played for the [[Japan national football team|Japan national team]].

In 2007, just the ninth year of its existence, Yokohama played its first season in the top flight of Japanese football. After a poor season, the team were relegated with five games of the season still remaining. Despite their early relegation, Yokohama defeated title contenders [[Urawa Red Diamonds]] on the last day of the season, allowing [[Kashima Antlers]] to secure the J.League Division 1 title.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.japantimes.co.jp/sports/2007/12/02/soccer/j-league/inspired-antlers-squad-captures-j-league-title/ |title=Inspired Antlers squad captures J.League title |author=Andrew Mckirdy |publisher=[[Japan Times]] |date=2 December 2007 | access-date=26 February 2016 }}</ref>

In 2018, Yokohama narrowly missed out on automatic promotion by goal difference. The team made it to the J2 promotion final, losing to [[Tokyo Verdy]] on an stoppage time winner. In 2019, Yokohama finished second in J2 and gained automatic promotion to J1.

After finishing in last place in 2021, Yokohama would be relegated back to J2 for the [[2022 J2 League|2022 season]], but they bounced back immediately to J1 League the next year. On 25 November 2023, Yokohama FC were relegated from J1 to J2 from 2024 after the club lost to [[Shonan Bellmare]]. On 11 November 2024, Yokohama FC secure promotion again to J1 from 2025 after draw against [[Renofa Yamaguchi FC|Renofa Yamaguchi]] 0-0 in final matchweek and ended one year stint in second tier.

== Crest == Yokohama's crest features a [[Phoenix (mythology)|phoenix]], symbolizing the rise of Yokohama from the ashes of the [[Yokohama Flügels]]. The blue ribbon on the top represents the Blue Ribbon Movement, a movement that began at the end of the [[1998 J.League|1998 J.League season]] to keep the Flugels alive.

==Kit and colours== {{Unreferenced section|date=April 2023}}

As they could not adopt directly Flügels' white and blue strip given its similarity to that of Marinos, Yokohama decided to adopt an all-[[cyan]] kit, after [[NKK SC]], a former [[works team|company club]] which had closed in 1994. NKK SC was based in [[Kawasaki, Kanagawa|Kawasaki]] and played most matches at [[Todoroki Athletics Stadium]], but used Mitsuzawa Stadium on days when the other Kawasaki clubs at the time ([[Verdy Kawasaki]], [[Toshiba SC|Toshiba]] and [[Fujitsu SC|Fujitsu]]) used it.
