Graphical timeline of Yokohama football clubs

The club was formed in 1986 by former ANA players under the name Yokohama Soccer & Culture Club. The "S" was changed to "Sports" in 2002.

Y.S.C.C. Yokohama was the starting point for many Yokohama Flügels and Yokohama F. Marinos players. When the Flügels folded in 1999, they supported the creation of Yokohama FC to replace them.

In 2012, they played Japan Football League for the first time and finished in 6th position.

After two seasons spent at JFL, YSCC Yokohama play in newly formed league, J3 from 2014.

On 7 December 2024, YSCC Yokohama secure relegation to Japan Football League after defeat from Kochi United SC 0-2 in 2nd leg of J3/JFL play-offs and lost aggregate 1-3, ended 11 years in third tier.
