History
The group was established in 1953 by educators from the Tochigi Prefecture. They first began playing under the name Tochigi Teachers’ Soccer Club ( Tochigi Kyin Sakko Bu), which literally translates to “Teachers’ Soccer Club.” In 1994, they rebranded themselves as the Tochigi Soccer Club and began to open their doors to players who had careers outside of soccer.
Tochigi won the Kanto Regional League in 1999 and received promotion to the Japan Football League as a result of their second-place performance in the play-off for the Regional League. In March of 2005, they made the announcement that they would establish a task force to give serious thought to turning professional and attempting to acquire J.League status. The task force was established.
J.League Associate Membership status was awarded to them in January 2007, and by the end of the 2008 season, they had qualified for promotion to professional status on November 16. Promotion to professional status was made official by J.League on December 1, and since 2009, Tochigi has competed in J2 competition.
Tochigi was relegated to J3, the third and lowest professional level in the league system, for the first time ever in 2015. This occurred after the team finished in last place in 2015. After two years, in 2017, they made their way back to J2 in the runner-up position.
