FC Tokyo has won the "2023 J.League Best Youth 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. We have been able to carry out academy activities with the support of fans, supporters, the local community, and many partners. I would like to express my gratitude to everyone who has been involved."
As a club based in Tokyo, it is our responsibility to produce players who can excel in the J-League and the world. Currently, many players from FC Tokyo's academy have been 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.

"FC Tokyo is extremely honored to have received the "Best Development Club Award". As the Academy Director, I am very happy about this. This is all thanks to everyone who supports FC Tokyo, the local community, our partners, and most importantly, those who have always passionately conveyed their thoughts to the players in our development program. I would like to express my sincere gratitude. Also, I would like to thank the teams in the 4 categories (under 12 years old) who send players to FC Tokyo's Academy."
We will continue to focus on developing players who can support the future of the club and represent Japan on the world stage without being satisfied with the current situation. We appreciate your continued support and encouragement.
