□ 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, 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. Kawasaki Frontale was relegated to J2 League in one year, but returned to J1 League in 2005 and has been engaging in fierce battles with both clubs again.
The history of fighting each other and improving together on this land across the Tama River has shown an excitement that is no less than 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 named it "Tama River Clasico," combining the "Tama River," which is a symbol that separates the two clubs, and the Spanish word "Clasico," which means "traditional match."
The name "Tama River Clasico" started in 2007, but in order to value the history of fierce battles fought in the form of FC Tokyo and Kawasaki Frontale, we count it as "Tama River Clasico" from the first year of J2 in 1999. From 1999 to 2006, there were a total of 10 matches. The plan started in 2007, and the first match was positioned as the "11th Tama River Clasico" and held at Kawasaki Frontale's home game on May 6, 2007. In the future, we will continue to strive together 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 match record is 8 wins, 7 draws, and 12 losses for Tokyo.
