Yokohama F.Marinos, whose hometowns are Yokohama City, Yokosuka City, and Yamato City in Kanagawa Prefecture, will continue to be led this season by head coach Hideo Oshima, who took charge midway through last season. Although key players such as Jean Claude and Asahi UENAKA have transferred, the team has acquired Taisei Inoue from Sagan Tosu, Tomoki KONDO from Hokkaido Consadole Sapporo, and Yuya TSUBOI from Vissel Kobe. The team is strengthening its capabilities by blending new talents with existing players.
