[edit] History
The club was founded in 1983 as Tottori Teachers' Football Club (鳥取教員団サッカー部 Tottori Kyōin Dan Sakkā Bu). They opened their gate to players with other professions in 1989. They were promoted to the Japan Football League after finishing runners-up in the 2001 Regional League play-off. Nonprofit organisation Yamatsumi Sports Club operate the club.
[edit] Stadiums
They play their home games mainly at Higashiyama Athletic Park Stadium in Yonago City for day games as well as Tottori Soccer Stadium in Tottori City for night games. Tottori Soccer Stadium is the only stadium in Sanin Region that meets the J. League requirements. As their home town is Yonago, the club tries to persuade the city council to upgrade Higashiyama Stadium to clear the requirements but the budget constraint of the city council means it is not likely to happen in the near future.
In recent years, they also play some games at Fuse Athletic Park Stadium in Tottori City, Matsue Athletic Stadium in Matsue, Shimane Prefecture and Hamayama Athletic Park Stadium in Izumo, Shimane Prefecture.
