For anyone who thought, “Wait, a derby?” They use the word “derby” in soccer too. Apparently it refers to a match between teams from the same city. Still, it’s pretty amazing that Nishinomiya has two women’s soccer teams.

The address is 3-chome Nishinomiyahama, Nishinomiya City, Hyogo Prefecture.
This matchup is:
Kansai Women’s Soccer League (Division 2)

Which Team Is Stronger?
Here are their records for the 2025 season as of 5/21↓
| Team | W-D-L | Goals For | Goals Against | Goal Difference | Points |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Baye Yuvel Nishinomiya | 2-0-0 | 17 | 0 | +17 | 6 |
| Nishinomiya Sorriso | 2-0-1 | 11 | 6 | +5 | 6 |
Baye Yuvel Nishinomiya↓
Baye Yuvel Nishinomiya is a corporate team, so they have a deep roster, and they’ve allowed zero goals! They have a big goal too: aiming for the Nadeshiko League!
Baye Yuvel Nishinomiya is a women’s soccer team launched by the food company “TK Shin Co., Ltd.,” which is based in Naruohama, Nishinomiya.
Nishinomiya Sorriso is a local development club that trains steadily at places like Naruo Junior High School and Nishinomiyahama Ground.
They also seem to take part in local events, like running a giant target game called “Kick Darts” at “Tanoshimiya, Nishinomiya” back in April.
Nishinomiya Sorriso↓
The clash between the overwhelmingly powerful attacking side Baye Yuvel and Nishinomiya Sorriso feels like it could become a traditional Nishinomiya soccer fixture. Matches between eternal rivals like this are so fun to cheer for. Which side will you support?

The result of the Nishinomiya Derby was…
4 – 0
A win for Baye Yuvel Nishinomiya!
(May 25, 2025 @ Nishinomiyahama Baycom Field)
The corporate team “aiming for the Nadeshiko League” really showed their quality! But Nishinomiya Sorriso had the local crowd behind them too, so we’ll be looking forward to their comeback from here. The next derby will be one to watch as well.
