History
[edit]Oyama SC was founded on 1959, centered around athletes from Oyama, located in Tsuruoka. After a while, the team became centered around alumni of Haguro High School's soccer club.[2]
Ever since their foundation, they went back and forth between the 1st and 2nd divisions of Yamagata Prefectural League. A promotion for the Regional Leagues was only made possible in 2017, after they became prefectural champions for the first time.[3]
As of 2025, the club is in its eighth straight season in the Tohoku Soccer League's 2nd Division South. In 2024, Oyama SC clinched the Yamagata Football Championship with a 5–3 victory over Yamagata University, earning the right to represent Yamagata in the 2024 Emperor's Cup for the third time.[4][5]
In 2025, Oyama clinched the 2nd Division South title, earning a historic promotion to the Tohoku 1st Division for the very first time. They also secured the Yamagata Football Championship title by defeating FC Parafrente Yonezawa (ja) in the final by a score of 4-2. This marked their fourth victory in this tournament and earned them a spot in the first round of the 2025 Emperor's Cup.
