Ever since their foundation, they went back and forth between the 1st and 2nd divisions of Yamagata Prefectural League. A promotion for the Regional Leagues was only made possible in 2017, after they became prefectural champions for the first time.[3]

This year, Oyama SC also won the Yamagata Football Championship by 5–3 against Yamagata University, winning the rights to represent Yamagata in the 2024 Emperor's Cup, being it the third time they have done so.[4][5]
