Sony Sendai F.C. (ソニー仙台F.C. Sonī Sendai Efu Shī?) are a football (soccer) club based in Tagajo, Miyagi Prefecture, Japan. They play in the Japan Football League. Their team colour is navy.

[edit] History

The club was founded by the workers of Sony's Sendai factory in 1967. They kept a low profile playing mainly in the Miyagi Prefecture League for a long time. However, it changed suddenly in 1993 when they embarked on a challenging task to reach the former Japan Football League within 5 years. They became league champions for 4 consecutive seasons starting from 1994, first in the Prefecture League and the others in the Tōhoku Regional League. They achieved their goal and were promoted to the JFL by winning the 1997 Regional League play-off.

When the J. League Division 2 was formed in 1999, the club decided not to turn professional. They joined the newly-organised Japan Football League instead and have been an established JFL side since then.
