The Yokohama F. Marinos ( Japanese 横 浜 F ・ マ リ ノ ス , Yokohama Efu Marinosu ) are one of the most successful football clubs in Japan . The last of a total of four national championships was secured by the Marinos in 2019. The team was created in 1999 through the merger of the Yokohama Marinos and the Yokohama Wings . The F. in the name is supposed to remind of the wing. The nickname Marinos comes from the Spanish marino (dt. Sailor) and refers on the one hand to the flair of Argentine football and Yokohama's tradition as a port city. Home games are at Nissan Stadium of Yokohama discharged. The stadium hosted the 2002 World Cup finals .

history

Foundation and origins (1964–1991)

The club's roots go back to 1972, when Nissan FC (Japanese: Nissan Jidōsha Sakka-bu ) was founded. The club reached the national Japan Soccer League Division 2 for the first time in 1976. Good relationships with local high schools and universities helped build the team and the student team was also able to celebrate successes. The works team of the car manufacturer Nissan won three championship titles from 1983 to 1991, two of them under the first paid coach in the club's history, as well as the JSL Cup and the Kaiser Cup . As a founding member of the J. League, the club was renamed KK Yokohama Marinos (English Yokohama Marinos, Ltd. ). The name is supplemented by an anchor on the club's coat of arms and the seagull is chosen as the mascot . The navy blue and white jerseys are based on sailor uniforms.

The long-standing city rival was founded in 1964 as Naka-ku Boy's Sports Organization (Japanese: Naka-ku Supōtsu Shōnendan ). With the promotion to the Japan Soccer League Division 2, the Japanese company All Nippon Airways sponsored the team. The club name changed to All Nippon Airways FC . Based on the Lockheed L-1011 TriStar , the team was also called Yokohama Tristar SC , but gave up the nickname after the Lockheed scandal . After the rise in 1987, the association was able to establish itself in what was then the upper house of the JSL until its dissolution. Following its main sponsor, the club changed its name to Yokohama Flügels , an anglicised plural of the German word wing, with the introduction of the J. League .

Professional Football and Fusion (1992-present)

In the new professional league, the Marinos established themselves among the best teams in the league. The Marinos also built on their successes with victories in the Kaiser Cup and the Asian Cup Winners' Cup . Despite the low success in the league, the wing was able to achieve successes in the national and international cup between 1992 and 1998. With Sato Labs 'withdrawal as one of the Wings' main sponsors, ANA felt compelled to act and met with representatives from Nissan, the Marinos main sponsor. To avoid the bankruptcy of the club, the main sponsors decided to merge the clubs. Their last big game was played by the Yokohama Wings on New Year's Day 1999 when they defeated Shimizu S-Pulse 2-1 in the cup final and won their last title.

The merger of the two clubs was more like a takeover by the Marinos. Except for a few good players on the wing, only the F. remembered the team in its new name. The disappointed fans of the wing turned away from the newly formed team and founded Yokohama FC on their own as new city rivals. After the F. Marinos reached the championship finals again in 2000, the team was able to win the rounds of the two-part season in 2003 and won the Japanese league cup . Due to further successes in the league, the F.-Marinos maintain their status as one of the best teams in Japan, but have not been able to win a title since 2004.

At the beginning of 2014, the team won the Kaiser Cup. On May 20, 2014, it was announced that Manchester City had invested in the club as a minority shareholder through City Football Group .
