Yokohama F. Marinos competes in the J League, J1 division.
Marinos is one of the original 10 teams that have participated in the J-League since its first year. The "F" in Marinos was added after the team merged with the Yokohama Flugels, which competed in the J-League until 1999, and the initial "F" of the Flugels was added.
The opening match of the inaugural season of the J-League on May 15, 1993 was played between Marinos and Verdy Kawasaki. The emotional experience of that day was a moment that anyone who had supported soccer would never forget.
Marinos won back-to-back titles in 2003 and 2004. They then went on to win the title in 2019. Their home stadium, Nissan Stadium, is one of the most crowd-pleasing stadiums in the country. The stadium, which hosted the 2002 World Cup final, is home to Yokohama F. Marinos.
