was a former football club based in Matsue, which is located in Shimane Prefecture in Japan. They last played in the Japan Football League, the Japanese fourth tier of football, until dissolved in 2022.
History FC Kagura Shimane was founded as Matsue City FC on the basis of a precedent team, which already was playing in Chūgoku Soccer League, Vorador Matsue. In 2011, the new-born club started their new activities to join Japanese professional football as soon as they could. An NPO corporation was made to manage the club and push towards J. League, while winning twice the Chūgoku Soccer League.
They also featured eight times in the Emperor's Cup, getting past the 1st round in 2015, 2017, 2018, 2020.
The team's name was changed from to FC Kagura Shimane on February 1, 2022.
The club withdrew from the JFL on 23 January 2023, just a few days after the league schedule was released. Unpaid wages and intern turmoil led to many players leaving the club, with the situation being made public by themselves. On 14 March 2023, after their parent company "Matsue City FC KK" was filed by bankruptcy, the club officially dissolved.
