What is the 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. Especially in 1999, which was the first year of J2, Tokyo Gas aimed to enter the J1 league and became the current FC Tokyo. Both clubs successfully won the fierce promotion battle and achieved promotion to the J1 league. Kawasaki Frontale was relegated to J2 league in one year, but they were promoted again in 2005 and have been engaging in intense battles with both clubs. The history of fighting each other and improving together on this land across the Tama River shows an excitement that is not inferior to the "Derby" held in other cities. And in the future, we will cherish the history of these two clubs and continue this battle as a tradition. Therefore, we named it "Tama River Clasico," combining the "Tama River," which is a symbol that separates the two clubs, and the meaning of "Clasico" in Spanish, which refers to a traditional match.
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 9 wins, 7 draws, and 13 losses for FC Tokyo.
