□ What is the Tama River Clasico?
Both clubs have been pushing each other as "good rivals" since the JFL era in 1997 with intense game content and numerous dramatic game developments. In particular, in 1999, Tokyo Gas entered the J1 league and became the current FC Tokyo, and both clubs successfully promoted to the J1 league after a fierce promotion battle. Kawasaki Frontale was relegated to the J2 league in one year, but returned in 2005 and has been engaged in fierce battles with both clubs once again.
The history of this land, separated by the Tama River, where we have been fighting each other while improving ourselves, shows no less excitement than the "derby" held in other cities. And from now on, we will cherish the history of these two clubs and continue this battle as a tradition. We have named it "Tama River Clasico" by combining the "Tama River", which is a symbol that divides the two clubs, and "Clasico", which means "traditional battle" in Spanish.
The "Tama River Clasico" started in 2007, but in order to honor the history of fierce battles between FC Tokyo and Kawasaki Frontale, it is counted as the "Tama River Clasico" from the first J2 season in 1999. From 1999 to 2006, there were a total of 10 matches. In 2007, the event was officially launched and the first match, held on May 6, 2007 at Kawasaki Frontale's home game, was designated as the "11th Tama River Clasico". In the future, we will continue to strive and compete with each other in order to build a history of 50, 100, 200... matches.
※ Both clubs have agreed that only the "league matches" will be counted as Tama River Clasico. (Matches in cup competitions, such as the Emperor's Cup, will not be counted.)
The current match record is 8 wins, 7 draws, and 10 losses in Tokyo.
