A bit of history:
The team was a former company team of Toyo Kogyo Soccer Club (東洋工業サッカー部, Toyo Kogyo Soccer Club?) in 1938 and played in the semi-professional Japan Soccer League. They dominated the JSL's early years, winning the title 4 times in a row - a feat that was later equaled by Yomiuri S.C./Verdy Kawasaki/Tokyo Verdy 1969. The name change was made at Mazda SC (マツダSC, Mazda SC?) in 1981. When JSL disbanded and became the J. League in 1992, it dropped the company name and became "Sanfrecce Hiroshima". Alongside JEF United Ichihara Chiba and Urawa Red Diamonds they co-founded both leagues.
