FC Tokyo has won the "2023 J-League Best Development Club Award", so we would like to inform you. This is the third time we have won the award, following the 2010 and 2017 seasons.

□ Shigeya Kawagishi, Representative Director and President's Comment
"I am extremely pleased to have received the "Best Development Club Award" for the first time since the 2017 season. Thanks to the support of fans, supporters, the local community, and many partners, we have been able to carry out our academy activities. I would like to express my gratitude to everyone who has been involved."
As a club based in Tokyo, we feel it is our responsibility to produce players who can play in the J-League and the world. Currently, many players from FC Tokyo's academy are selected for the Japan national team at various age levels, and we have steadily built a track record in player development. We will continue to actively work on player development and strive to win this award again. We ask for your continued support.

□Satoru ASARI Academy Director
"FC Tokyo has been awarded the "Best Development Club Award" and I am extremely honored and happy as the Academy Director. This is all thanks to everyone who supports FC Tokyo, the local community, partners, and especially those who have always passionately conveyed their thoughts to the players in the development program. I would like to express my sincere gratitude. Also, I hope to convey my gratitude to the teams in the 4 categories (under 12 years old elementary school students) who send players to FC Tokyo's academy."
We will continue to focus on player development in order to support the future of the club and cultivate players who can represent Japan on the world stage without being satisfied with the current situation. We ask for your continued support and encouragement.
