Sports Club Sagamihara (スポーツクラブ相模原, Supōtsukurabu Sagamihara) commonly known as SC Sagamihara (SC相模原, Esu Shī Sagamihara) is a Japanese professional football club based in Sagamihara, Kanagawa Prefecture. They currently play in the J3 League, Japanese third tier of professional football.

History

[edit]

In 2011 they joined the Division 2 of the Kanto Football League after three years of consecutive promotions through the Kanagawa Prefectural League. In 2012, they won the Regional Promotion Series and were promoted to the Japan Football League. Since 2014, the club has belonged to the recently established J3 League, where they played for seven seasons before being promoted to J2 League in 2020 as J3 runners-up.

After just a season in J2, Sagamihara returned to the J3 for the 2022 season, having been relegated from the J2 being three points off the relegation zone. On 2023, the club will play their 2nd consecutive season at the J3.

Among their players, former Japan national member Yoshikatsu Kawaguchi has featured for SC Sagamihara.
