Yokohama F. Marinos (横浜F・マリノス Yokohama Efu Marinosu?) is a Japanese football team which participates in the professional J. League. Having won the J-League title three times and finished second twice, the team is one of the most successful J-League clubs. The team is based in Yokohama and was founded as the company team of Nissan Motors. It was originally the Yokohama Marinos but after merging with the Yokohama Flügels in 1999, it changed to its current name. The team name Marinos means 'sailors' in Spanish. Marinos are one of only six teams to have competed in Japan's top flight of football every year since its inception in 1993.

[edit] History
In 1973, the team started as the Nissan Motors F.C. based in Yokohama, and were promoted to the Japan Soccer League Division 2 in 1976. It took necessary steps like building a friendly relationship with local high schools and universities and starting junior teams for school kids to be a winning team. Under the first paid or professional team manager in Japan Shu Kamo, the team won championships in 1988 and 1989 as well as the JSL Cup and Emperor's Cup winning all three major tournaments in Japan at that time.
In 1991, it was one of the founding members of the J. League. In 1998, after losing one of their primary sponsors, it was announced that crosstown rivals Yokohama Flügels would merge with Marinos. Since then, an F was added to the name to represent the Flügels half of the club. Many Flügels fans rejected the merger and instead created Yokohama F.C., F. Marinos' new crosstown rivals.
The team's home stadiums are Nissan Stadium, otherwise know as International Stadium Yokohama, and Mitsuzawa Stadium. It practices in the newly constructed Marinos Town in the Minato Mirai area of Yokohama.
