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]

In 2024, the club is currently in their seventh consecutive season at the Tohoku Soccer League 2nd division's southern block. This year, Oyama SC also won the Yamagata Football Championship by 5–3 against Yamagata University, winning the rights to represent Yamagata in the 2024 Emperor's Cup, being it the third time they have done so.[4][5]
