History

The club was founded as a football club of Yokogawa Electric Corporation in 1939. In 1978, the club achieved their first promotion to the Kanto Regional League. Despite experiencing the relegation to the Tokyo Prefecture League twice, they were determined to bounce back and gained the promotion to the Japan Football League in 1999. Although the club still have strong association with Yokogawa Electric, they left the nest in 2003 and started the new life as a non-corporation club under the name Yokogawa Musashino until 2015. The club was renamed Tokyo Musashino City in January 2016.[1]

In February 2021, the club renamed its official name to Tokyo Musashino United Football Club. [2]

On 4 December 2023, Tokyo Musashino United announced that they would be renaming its official name back to Yokogawa Musashino Football Club. The club's former crest (when playing as Yokogawa Musashino FC) was restored, as well, starting from the 2024 season.[3] [4]
