＜What is the Tamagawa 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. Kawasaki Frontale was relegated to the J2 League in one year, but returned in 2005 and have been engaged in fierce battles with both clubs once again.
The history of these two clubs, who have been fighting each other while improving each other on this land across the Tama River, shows an excitement that is not inferior to 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. Therefore, we have named it "Tamagawa Clasico" by combining the word "Tamagawa," which is a symbol that separates the two clubs and means "traditional battle" in Spanish.
The "Tamagawa Clasico" started in 2007, but in order to cherish the history of the fierce battles between FC Tokyo and Kawasaki Frontale, it is counted as the "Tamagawa Clasico" from the first year of J2 in 1999. From 1999 to 2006, there were a total of 10 matches. The first match was held on May 6, 2007, as the "11th Tamagawa Clasico" in Kawasaki Frontale's home game, which marked the start of the planned matches.
We will continue to strive together in both clubs to build a history for the future, 50 times, 100 times, 200 times and beyond.
The current match record for FC Tokyo is 11 wins, 9 draws, and 22 losses.
※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.
