□ What is Tama River Clasico...
Both clubs have been challenging each other as "good rivals" with intense game content and numerous dramatic game developments since the JFL era in 1997. In particular, in 1999, FC Tokyo, which was formerly Tokyo Gas, entered the J1 League and both clubs successfully promoted to the J1 League after winning a fierce promotion battle. Kawasaki Frontale was relegated to the J2 League in one year, but returned in 2005 and has been competing fiercely with both clubs once again.
The history of these two clubs, who have been fighting each other and improving together on this land across the Tama River, shows a level of excitement that is no less than that of a "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. Therefore, we have named it "Tama River Clasico," combining the symbol that separates the two clubs, the Tama River, and the meaning of "clasico" in Spanish, which refers to a traditional battle.
The "Tama River Clasico" started in 2007, but in order to cherish the history of intense battles between FC Tokyo and Kawasaki Frontale, it is counted as the "Tama River Clasico" from the first year of J2 in 1999. From 1999 to 2006, there were a total of 10 matches. The planning started in 2007, and the first match was positioned as the "11th Tama River Clasico" and held as Kawasaki Frontale's home game on May 6, 2007. In the future, we will continue to strive and compete in both clubs to build a history of 50th, 100th, 200th... Tama River Clasico.
※ It is counted as the Tama River Clasico only in the "league match" after discussion between both clubs. (Matches in cup competitions and Emperor's Cup are not counted.)
The current "Tamagawa Clasico" match record is 10 wins, 9 draws, and 17 losses for FC Tokyo.
