THE CLUB’S STORY

1989 · community club

Machida Zelvia was created to give a city with a strong youth-football tradition a senior club of its own. Its initial team drew players from local adult clubs. The club’s history starts with that community project in 1989 and follows its progress through Japan’s football pyramid.
