As a result of the [[2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami]], Sony Sendai, with permission from the JFL, did not contest the first half of the 2011 season. They expectedly earned last place on points, but due to [[FC Machida Zelvia|Machida Zelvia]] and [[Matsumoto Yamaga FC|Matsumoto Yamaga]] being promoted to Division 2 and [[JEF Reserves]] withdrawing from the competition, they were spared relegation.

In 2015, Sony Sendai won the second stage and earned its first JFL title by defeating first stage champions Vanraure Hachinohe on penalties after a tied two-leg final on aggregate.

On 27 September 2024, Sony announced the dissolution of the team, effective at the end of the [[2024 Japan Football League|2024 JFL]] season, after fifty-six years of existence. <ref>{{Cite web |date=27 September 2024 |title=JFL退会および活動終了について。 |trans-title=About the JFL License and the end of activities. |url=https://www.sonysendaifc.jp/news/club/1409 |access-date=27 September 2024 |website=www.sonysedaifc.co.jp}}</ref>

The Sony Group cited restructuring (downsizing) of its recording media business, which was based at the Tagajyo site of Sony Storage Media Manufacturing, its direct operating entity, as the reason for the cease of operations.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://nordot.app/1212320800078954500?c=65699763097731077|title=ソニー仙台がJFL退会 15年には優勝|website=共同通信社|date=2024-09-27|accessdate=2024-09-28}}</ref>

On 3 October 2024, the JFL Board of Directors unanimously approved Sony Sendai's withdrawal from the JFL, officially deciding that the club will leave the JFL at the end of this year.<ref>[http://www.jfl.or.jp/jfl-pc/view/s.php?a=2333 ソニー仙台FC、JFLからの退会と来季の編成について] - JFLオフィシャルサイト 2024年10月3日</ref>

Sony Sendai FC (ソニー仙台FC, Sonī Sendai Efu Shī) was a former Japanese football club based in Sendai, Miyagi Prefecture, Japan. They last played in the Japan Football League, Japanese fourth tier of football league until 2024. They were withdrawn by their company.

History

[edit]

The club was founded by the workers of Sony's Sendai factory in 1968. They kept a low profile playing mainly in the Miyagi Prefecture League for a long time. However, it changed suddenly in 1993 when they embarked on a challenging task to reach the former Japan Football League within 5 years. They became league champions for 4 consecutive seasons starting from 1994, first in the Prefecture League and the others in the Tōhoku Regional League. They achieved their goal and were promoted to the JFL by winning the 1997 Regional League play-off.

When the J. League Division 2 was formed in 1999, the club decided not to turn professional. They joined the newly organised Japan Football League instead and have been an established JFL side since then.

As a result of the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami, Sony Sendai, with permission from the JFL, did not contest the first half of the 2011 season. They expectedly earned last place on points, but due to Machida Zelvia and Matsumoto Yamaga being promoted to Division 2 and JEF Reserves withdrawing from the competition, they were spared relegation.

In 2015, Sony Sendai won the second stage and earned its first JFL title by defeating first stage champions Vanraure Hachinohe on penalties after a tied two-leg final on aggregate.

On 27 September 2024, Sony announced the dissolution of the team, effective at the end of the 2024 JFL season, after fifty-six years of existence. [1]

The Sony Group cited restructuring (downsizing) of its recording media business, which was based at the Tagajyo site of Sony Storage Media Manufacturing, its direct operating entity, as the reason for the cease of operations.[2]

On 3 October 2024, the JFL Board of Directors unanimously approved Sony Sendai's withdrawal from the JFL, officially deciding that the club will leave the JFL at the end of this year.[3]
