Mitsubishi Motors Mizushima F.C. (三菱自動車水島FC, Mitsubishi Jidōsha Mizushima Efu Shī^?) are a football (soccer) club based in Kurashiki, Okayama Prefecture, Japan. They play in the Japan Football League. Their team colour is red.

[edit] History

The club was founded in 1946 to provide recreational activities in the war-torn Mizushima area of Kurashiki city. They joined the Okayama Prefecture League in 1965 and were promoted to the Chūgoku Regional League in 1979 for the first time.

They were relegated to the Prefecture League in 1982 and stayed there for 8 years. After re-entering the Chūgoku League, they won 5 championships before being promoted to the JFL in 2005.

In recent years they have adopted the moniker "Red Adamant" (after their parent company Mitsubishi Motors and its former flagship football club, now known as Urawa Red Diamonds), with an aim to eventually join J. League and be a star club in their own right. A potential obstacle to this will be the newly promoted Fagiano Okayama F.C., with whom they have had to share Momotaro Athletic Stadium in Okayama City for recent JFL fixtures.
