Yokohama FC
Encyclopedia : Y : YO : YOK : Yokohama FC
are a Japanese football club based in the city of Yokohama. The club was formed in 1998 following the merger of the city's two J-League clubs, Yokohama Flügels and Yokohama Marinos. The response of fans of the Flügels (which was essentially abolished) to the suggestion that they should start supporting the Marinos was to set up their own club. Despite attempts to get straight entry into the J-League, the Japanese Football Association only permitted the team to enter the Japan Football League. Within three years however, the team managed to gain promotion to the J2 Division of the J-League. At the moment, the team remains a mid-table outfit in J2, with an eighth place finish in the 2004 season.
