□ What is the 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, FC Tokyo was formed from Tokyo Gas and entered the J1 league, and both clubs successfully promoted to the J1 league after a fierce promotion battle. Although Kawasaki Frontale was relegated to the J2 league in one year, they were promoted again in 2005 and have been engaged in fierce battles with both clubs once again.
　In this land divided by the Tama River, the history of competing and improving each other has shown an excitement that is no less 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. The Tama River, which separates the two clubs, and the Spanish word for "classic" meaning "traditional battle" have been combined to name this match the "Tama River Classic".
　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 part of the "Tama River Clasico" since the first year of J2 in 1999. From 1999 to 2006, there were a total of 10 matches. In 2007, the first official match was held on May 6th as the "11th Tama River Clasico" during Kawasaki Frontale's home game. Moving forward, we will continue to strive and compete in order to build a history of 50, 100, 200... matches between both clubs.

※Both clubs have agreed that only matches in the league will be counted as the Tama River Clasico. Matches in cup competitions, including the Emperor's Cup, will not be counted.

The current match record is 7 wins, 7 draws, and 10 losses in Tokyo.
