The Kashima Antlers ( Japanese 鹿島 ア ン ト ラ ー ズ , Kashima antorāzu , from English antlers : antlers ) are a Japanese professional football club from the city of Kashima ( Ibaraki Prefecture ). The Antlers, who, in keeping with their name, have a deer as their mascot , are the record champions of the professional league J. League, which has been active since 1993, with eight titles . In 2007 they even managed to double the championship and the Kaiser Cup .
Club history
1991–1993: Founding and introduction of professional football
The club, which is operated by the associated joint-stock company KK Kashima Antlers FC ( 株式会社 鹿島 ア ン ト ラ ー ズ ・ エ フ ・ シ ー , kabushiki-gaisha Kashima Antorāzu efu shī ; English Kashima Antlers FC, Ltd. ), belongs to just under ten percent of the five hometowns of the club - besides Kashima, these are Kamisu , Itako , Hokota and Namegata - over 90 percent of 39 local companies. He emerged in February 1991 from the (until 1975 in Osaka ) Sumitomo Kinzoku Kōgyō Shukyū-dan (English Sumitomo Metal Industries' football club ), a works team of the mining company Sumitomo Kinzoku Kōgyō . The first star of the newly formed team was the Brazilian Zico , who was signed in May 1991. It was not until July of the same year that the name "Kashima Antlers" was adopted after a fan decision. It was officially founded in October 1991. In the following year, further changes came into force that led the club towards professional football. A club logo, a mascot and the club anthem were introduced. At the beginning of 1993 the new clubhouse, the training grounds and the stadium were inaugurated. In May 1993 the first game took place in the new Kashima Soccer Stadium . In the friendly game, the Antlers met the Brazilian club Fluminense Rio de Janeiro .
In the course of the decision to establish a professional soccer league in Japan and to locate several clubs in smaller cities, the Sumitomo team was also brought into a new joint venture , in which, in addition to the steel company, the city of Kashima and the surrounding communities are primarily involved involved. The new team, which should be named Antlers, immediately won the first half of the first J. League season in 1993, which entitled them to participate in the championship finals. Although this was lost to Verdy Kawasaki , it was an enormous success for a team whose predecessor had never won a national title or even made it to a cup final. The Antlers lost their first cup final just a few weeks after losing in the championship final 6-2 to the Yokohama Marinos .
1994–2000: Establishment of the most successful team in Japan
The first big success was a few years away. With the engagement of the Brazilian coach João Carlos , the club started its successful years. In the 1996 season, the championship title went to Kashima for the first time. They just prevailed against Nagoya Grampus Eight and Yokohama Wings . The following year they won both the Imperial Cup and the Yamazaki Nabisco Cup . The most successful year in the club's history was the year 2000, when the triple of all national competitions could be won (no team has been able to repeat this feat in Japan so far). The master maker of this period was the Brazilian Toninho Cerezo . In 2002/03 the club was entitled to participate in the newly created AFC Champions League for the first time . Without a win, they were eliminated early in the group stage. The first international triumph followed in 2003: winning the first edition of the A3 Champions Cup , which is held between Japan, China and South Korea . In three of three matches, the Antlers won twice and only played a draw against the South Korean representative Seongnam Ilhwa Chunma . Even before and after this success, the national team was a little quieter. In 2004 and 2006, the club only came in sixth in the league competition. The last success was celebrated in 2002 with the victory of the Super Cup.
In the 2006 season, successful coach Toninho Cerezo was replaced by his compatriot Paulo Autuori . But even this did not bring the desired results. It was only with Oswaldo de Oliveira that success was brought back to the club. Between 2007 and 2009, the team won the national championship three times in a row.
In September 2008, the club hit the global press after a fan was banned from the stadium for life. During the game against Kashiwa Reysol , a spectator hit the corner kick, Alex , a Reysol player, with a flag. The game ended 1-1.
In 2010, the team won the group stage of the 2010 AFC Champions League . As the only team in the competition, the club won all matches and did not show any nakedness. But already in the first round of the knockout phase, Oliveira's team was eliminated after 1-0 against the South Korean team Pohang Steelers . Last year they failed in the same round at FC Seoul . At the AFC Champions League 2008 the team celebrated their highest success so far in this tournament. On March 12, 2008, the Antlers won the away game against FC Krung Thai Bank from Thailand with 9: 1. The Brazilian Marquinhos scored three goals . The players also won the second leg at their home Kashima Soccer Stadium after 8: 1. Since fewer teams qualified for the knockout phase at the time, the Antlers were in the quarter-finals, where they also failed (1: 1 and 0: 1 against Adelaide United ).
The Antlers win their first title of the 2010 season in February. In the final of the Xerox Super Cup , the club prevailed after a 1-1 with 5-3 on penalties against Gamba Osaka . Soon afterwards, for the European summer transfer period, top performer Atsuto Uchida moved to Germany, to FC Schalke 04 . On October 29, 2011, the Kashima Antlers won this title for the fourth time in the final of the J.League Cup against the Urawa Reds 1-0 ail.

Since its replacement in 1994, the board has relied primarily on Brazilian soccer teachers. The best known is the former Brazilian international Zico . He is also the only person in the club's history who has been under contract with the club both as an active player and as a coach.
