□ What is Tama River Clasico...
　Since the JFL era in 1997, both clubs have been pushing each other as "good rivals" with intense game content and numerous dramatic game developments. In particular, in 1999, which was the first year of J2, Tokyo Gas became FC Tokyo and both clubs successfully promoted to J1 League after a fierce promotion battle. Kawasaki Frontale was relegated to J2 League in just 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, which started in the first year of J2 in 1999, it is counted as the "Tama River Clasico" from 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 together as both clubs so that we can build a history of 50, 100, 200... and beyond.
 

※Both clubs have agreed that only matches in the league will be counted as the "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 11 losses in Tokyo.
