ABOUT MATCHAMORÉ
One team.
One Yamashiro.
Connecting the people, towns and businesses of Kyoto Yamashiro through sport.
WHO WE ARE
About us
Matchamoré Kyoto Yamashiro is a football club from Kyoto Yamashiro, the home of Japanese tea, aiming to reach the J.League by 2030. Founded in 2020, we are building the club together with our community in the spirit of tomonitsukuru — creating together.
MISSION
Through sport, we create a society where people accept, support and cheer one another on.
VISION
To become a source of joy, belonging, pride and identity — a club the region cannot do without.
OUR PRINCIPLES
How we build together.
Four principles that guide how we work with our community.
Create together
We aim to pioneer a model of sport built together with our fans.
Enrich our towns
We help create positive, vibrant and thriving towns.
Respect diversity
We learn from traditional and different cultures, and we value diversity.
OUR EMBLEM
Culture, town, people.
Yamashiro as one.
Our emblem is a graphic interpretation of 茶, the Japanese character for tea and the symbol of the Yamashiro region.
Within it, a torii gate stands for culture, a house with a triangular roof for the town, and the cross at its base for people. Culture, town and people coming together as one — that is what the emblem of Matchamoré Kyoto Yamashiro represents.
