Rivalries
Historically the Shonan area was part of a pre-modern province, Sagami Province, whereas Yokohama and Kawasaki were part of Musashi Province, hence Bellmare's intraprefectural rivalries with Yokohama F. Marinos, Yokohama F.C. and Kawasaki Frontale are based on the hard-working port cities of South Musashi vs. the more laid-back attitude of Sagami.
Other historical rivals have been Cerezo Osaka, Urawa Red Diamonds and Júbilo Iwata.
