□ What is the Tama River Clasico...
Both clubs have been competing as "good rivals" since the JFL era in 1997, with intense game content and numerous dramatic game developments. In particular, in 1999, which was the first year of J2, Tokyo Gas aimed to enter J1 League and became the current FC Tokyo. Both clubs successfully won the fierce promotion battle and achieved promotion to J1 League. Although Kawasaki Frontale was relegated to J2 League in one year, they were promoted again in 2005 and have been engaging in intense battles 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.

※ The Tama River Clasico will only be counted as a "league match" after discussion between both clubs. (Matches in cup competitions and the Emperor's Cup will not be counted.)
The current head-to-head record is 10 wins, 9 draws, and 14 losses for FC Tokyo.
