Sagawa Shiga Football Club (佐川急便滋賀フットボールクラブ Sagawa Shiga Futtobōru Kurabu?) formerly Sagawa Express Soccer Club (佐川急便サッカークラブ Sagawa Kyūbin Sakkā Kurabu?) is an amateur Japanese football club, which is a member of Japan Football League (JFL). The club formed from a merger of two Sagawa Express corporation football clubs in JFL; Sagawa Express Tokyo S.C. and Sagawa Express Osaka S.C.. The Tokyo side had been in JFL since 2001 and the Osaka side since 2002. The announcement of the merger was on 14th, September of 2006 and its base would be moved to Shiga prefecture, the company's corporate base. The merged team will make new start from the beginning of 2007 with new team name "Sagawa Express S.C.". Blue and silver are their team colours. Their home stadium is the Sagawa Express Moriyama Stadium in Moriyama City, Shiga.

This merger of two strong teams in JFL proved successful. In their first year of competition in JFL they won the championship and eight of their players selected in JFL Best Eleven 2007.

With the promotion of F.C. Mi-O Biwako Kusatsu to JFL, there will be Shiga derby matches in 2008 season. Interestingly F.C Mi-O also formed from Sagawa Express Kyoto S.C in 2005. Their first derby match will be played on March 16th at Moriyama and it is also the opening match of the 2008 season.

According to news release by the parent company, in 2008 the name of this team will be changed to Sagawa Shiga FC[1] in a bid to get the support of the local community.
