Kawasaki Frontale ( Japanese 川 崎 フ ロ ン タ ー レ , Kawasaki Furontāre ; from Italian frontale = front) is a Japanese football club that has been playing in the country's top professional league, the J1 League , for the second time since 2000 .
Club history
Frontale, which comes from the city of Kawasaki ( Kanagawa Prefecture ) and plays its home games there at the Todoroki Athletics Stadium (where the multiple champion Verdy Kawasaki played until he moved to Tokyo in 1998 ), has its origins in the factory team of the electronics company Fujitsu, which was founded in 1955 . The Fujitsū Soccer-bu ( 富士 通 サ ッ カ ー 部 ), in German Fujitsu soccer club , played several decades with some success in various regional leagues, but never managed to attract national attention. At the end of the 1970s, Fujitsu played briefly in the Japan Soccer League , but was relegated after two years without ever returning to the JSL.
When the J. League was founded after the 1992 season, Fujitsu placed itself in the newly created Japan Football League and renamed itself after its hometown in Kawasaki Fujitsu , and in 1996 finally in Kawasaki Frontale . The Italian name Frontale , which means something like front, at the top , is intended to be reminiscent of the European style of play and underline the ambitious club's claim to leadership. The club, which has not completely separated from its parent company even after the re-establishment and continues to be known as Fujitsu FC , became a founding member of the new J. League Division 2 (J2) in 1999, which it won straight away.
In 2000, Frontale was eligible to play in the first division for the first time, but the relegation should not be granted to the promoted team: As the last in the annual table, they immediately relegated to J2. This season went down in the club's history as a success, however, with the final participation in the Yamazaki Nabisco Cup , the Japanese league cup , for the first time a national final was achieved, even if it was lost 2-0 to the Kashima Antlers .
The renewed promotion succeeded Frontale in an impressive way in 2004, with a goal difference of 104: 38 and 29 points ahead of a non-promotion place, the team from Kanagawa dominated the league like never before.
