A bit of history:
In 1973, the team started as the Nissan FC of the Japan Soccer League based in Yokohama. It took necessary steps like building a friendly relationship with local high schools and universities and starting junior teams for school kids to be a winning team. Under the first paid or professional team manager in Japan Shu Kamo, the team won championships in 1988 and 1989 as well as the JSL Cup and Emperor's Cup winning all three major tournaments in Japan at that time.
In 1991, it was one of the founding members of the J. League. The team's home stadiums are Nissan Stadium (International Stadium Yokohama) and Mitsuzawa Stadium. It practices in the newly constructed Marinos Town in the Minato Mirai area of Yokohama.
