Tochigi S.C. (栃木S.C., Tochigi Esu Shī?) are a football (soccer) club based in Utsunomiya, Tochigi Prefecture, Japan. They play in the Japan Football League. Their team colour is yellow.
[edit] History
Teachers in Tochigi Prefecture founded the club in 1953. They were initially called self-explanatory Tochigi Teacher's Football Club (栃木教員サッカー部 Tochigi Kyōin Sakkā Bu). They started to welcome players with other professions in 1994 and renamed themselves as Tochigi Soccer Club. In 1999, Tochigi won the Kanto Regional League and were promoted to the Japan Football League after finishing runners-up in the Regional League play-off. In March 2005, they announced that they would set up a task force to give a serious consideraton to turn professional and try to gain J. League status.
On January 2007 they achieved J. League Associate Membership status and in the 2008 season they are on a run up the ranks, contending for the promotion spots.
