{{nihongo|'''Kawasaki Frontale'''|川崎フロンターレ|Kawasaki Furontāre}} is a Japanese professional football club based in Kawasaki, Kanagawa Prefecture, south of Tokyo. The club currently compete in the J1 League, which is the top tier of football in the country. Their home stadium is Kawasaki Todoroki Stadium in Nakahara Ward, located in the central area of Kawasaki.
Frontale have won 4 J1 League, 2 J2 League, 2 Emperor's Cup, 1 J.League Cup and 3 Japanese Super Cup titles. Continentally, Frontale also become the first club from East Asia to reach the final of the newly revamp AFC Champions League Elite in the 2024–25 season.
==History== === Establishment and earlier years (1955–1977) ===
The club was founded in 1955 as '''Fujitsu Soccer Club''', the company team of Fujitsu. For several decades, the club competed in the regional and lower tiers of Japanese football, gradually establishing itself within the corporate football structure. It was one of many city clubs that comprised the Japan Soccer League (JSL), including Yomiuri (later Tokyo Verdy 1969), Toshiba (later Consadole Sapporo) and NKK SC (now defunct). They first made the JSL Division 1 in 1977, only to be relegated the next season.
=== Professional transition and relegations (1993–2000) === With the professionalisation of Japanese football and the establishment of the J.League in 1993, the club began transitioning towards a professional identity. In 1997, Fujitsu Soccer Club was reorganised and rebranded as a professional club with a new name, ''''Kawasaki Frontale'''<nowiki/>', adopting its current name and relocating to Kawasaki, which means "frontal" in Italian. The club old crest and colours are based on those of Brazilian side Grêmio, because both clubs have cooperated since 26 March 1997.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://pr.fujitsu.com/jp/news/1997/Mar/27-2.html|title=川崎フロンターレ、「グレミオ」と姉妹クラブ関係を締結|website=pr.fujitsu.com|access-date=5 August 2019}}</ref>
Frontale joined the newly formed second division, the J2 League, in 1999. In their debut season, the club won the 1999 J2 League title and secured promotion to the top flight. However, their first stint in the J1 League was short-lived, as they were relegated after one season. Frontale would not return to the top flight until 2000, when they were promoted to the newly rebranded J1 League. But they were once again dropped to the J2 League at the end of the season.
=== Top flight return and AFC Champions League debut (2004–2007) === [[File:2007 AFC Champions League, Sepahan 0-0 Kawasaki Frontale (6).jpg|thumb|307x307px|Kawasaki Frontale battling against Sepahan in the 2007 AFC Champions League]] In the 2004 season, Frontale crowned champions of J2 League and won promotion to J1 for the second time. With the former rival city clubs out of the way due to relocation or liquidation, they began building their power base in the city of Kawasaki.
In 2006, Frontale achieved runners-up position in J1, their highest league position up to that time. As a result, they entered the AFC Champions League for the first time in the 2007 edition. They were drawn in Group F alongside Korean club Chunnam Dragons, Indonesian club Arema Malang and Thailand club Bangkok University. Frontale went on to have an undefeated campaign in the group stage finishing as group leaders to advanced to the knockout stage. However, Frontale lost 5–4 on penalties shootout to Iranian club Sepahan thus knocking out from the tournament.
During this period, Frontale became known for their attacking philosophy and consistent performances. They also reached the final of the Emperor's Cup in 2007, although they were defeated 0–2 to Kashima Antlers. Despite regular top finishes, the club gained a reputation for falling just short in decisive moments, leading to a prolonged wait for major silverware.
=== Domestic domination under Toru Oniki (2017–2024) === Frontale’s fortunes changed dramatically in 2017 under the helms of manager, Toru Oniki. The club went on to win its first-ever J1 League title in the 2017 season, finishing ahead of rivals after years of near misses. After two second-place finishes in 2008 and 2009, Kawasaki finally won the league, coming from behind to upstage bitter rivals Kashima Antlers after they were held to a draw at Júbilo Iwata, 16 seasons and 40 years after their first promotion to the top division.
Kawasaki became the first team to win four J1 titles in a five-year span. They came up short multiple times (2000, 2007, 2009 and 2017) but won their first J.League Cup in 2019, beating Hokkaido Consadole Sapporo on penalties. In 2020, they successfully won their third J1 League title with 83 points, staying 17 points clear off the runners-up, Gamba Osaka. They made sure of the title with four games to spare, which was a record under the 34-match league format. With a player depth not being restricted to the starting XI, Frontale managed to get the best out of the five substitutions allowed by the J. League, per FIFA recommendation, instated after the COVID-19 outbreak. A good example was a breakout season by Kaoru Mitoma, who started more matches on the bench than in the starting XI.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://english.kyodonews.net/news/2020/12/3f43e24f7714-soccer-j-league-wraps-up-season-of-obstacles-new-records.html|title=Football: J-League wraps up season of obstacles, new records|access-date=3 October 2022|date=20 December 2020|language=en|website=english.kyodonews.net}}</ref>
In 2021, Frontale won their first title of the year in the opening match of the season, beating Gamba Osaka 3–2 in the 2021 Japanese Super Cup.
Raised standards, eye-catching performances, and increase of national team level players coming from Frontale led foreign clubs to pay attention to their players. Among the most significant departures, Frontale saw two major talents leaving the club mid-season. Kaoru Mitoma was included in the 2020 J.League Best XI in his first full season as a professional despite playing less than half of his matches as a starter for Frontale, being signed by Brighton & Hove Albion of the Premier League. The second one was midfielder, Ao Tanaka. The 2020 J.League Rookie of the Year which quickly earned his spot on the starting XI after turning professional, transferring to Fortuna Düsseldorf of 2. Bundesliga on loan, which later would have his deal turning permanent. They weren't the only departures leaving a mark on the team, as they followed Hidemasa Morita to Europe, as the latter went on to sign for Santa Clara of the Primeira Liga.
However, despite Frontale having their future performances being apparently threatened after these departures, the club went on to win the 2021 J1 League with a record-breaking season, which saw them: Winning the most points on a single J1 League season ever, with 92 points won on 38 matches; Achieving the fewest number of losses on a J1 League season, registering only two losses in total (the first J1 loss only came six months after the season opening); Being the joint unbeaten team at home matches in a J1 League season, equalling Urawa Red Diamonds's tally in 2006; Being the first ever J1 team to win more than 80 points on consecutive seasons.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.jleague.co/news/five-things-to-watch-for-in-the-2022-meiji-yasuda-j1-league/|title=Five things to watch for in the 2022 Meiji Yasuda J1 League|access-date=3 October 2022|date=17 February 2022|language=en|website=jleague.co}}</ref>
Leandro Damião, with 23 goals, was Frontale's individual highlight on the 2021 season, helping him win the MVP award, after being the joint league top-scorer and one of the players with the most assists of the tournament. The latter record was accomplished by another Frontale players, Miki Yamane, which also saw several call-ups for the Japan national football team throughout the 2021 and 2022 season, alongside other Frontale players and formers players, like the team captain Shogo Taniguchi, and midfielder Yasuto Wakizaka. They joined many other players who previously were selected for the national team while playing at Frontale.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.jleague.co/news/kawasaki-frontale-season-preview-can-these-jleague-giants-bring-another-title-home/|title=Kawasaki Frontale Season Preview: Can these J.League giants bring another title home?|access-date=3 October 2022|date=15 February 2022|language=en|website=jleague.co}}</ref> Of the selected players, some players can be highlighted, like defender Yoshinobu Minowa, who was selected in 2005. After the 2006 FIFA World Cup, midfielder Kengo Nakamura and forward Kazuki Ganaha became new Japan internationals, especially Kengo Nakamura, who being a mainstay at club and country for a long time. Long-serving for the national team, goalkeeper Eiji Kawashima was also selected while at Frontale, making his debut on the 2008 East Asian Cup. Shuhei Terada, who played all of his 13-year professional career at Frontale, was also selected for the national team from 2008 to 2009.
After five consecutive seasons winning at least one major title from 2017 to 2021, Frontale tasted a season without winning any silverware for the entire 2022. Taking their previous overall season into account, the club went through an uninspired season, which saw early eliminations in all four competitions the club played that involved knockout-stage formats. In February, the club already saw their first match of the season resulting on a defeat, after losing 2–0 by Urawa Red Diamonds at the Super Cup. On April, the club was eliminated at the 2022 AFC Champions League at its group stage, finishing their group as runners-up, behind Malaysian champions Johor Darul Ta'zim. In June, at the Emperor's Cup, Frontale were unexpectedly eliminated, at the third round of the competition, after being defeated by J2 League club Tokyo Verdy by 1–0.
On the latter half of the season, Frontale continued an atypically poor run of form. On August, the club started their campaign at the J.League Cup, entering the competition late in the double-legged quarterfinals, after receiving a bye from the early stages of the competition due to their AFC Champions League qualification. The club played this quarterfinal against Cerezo Osaka and was awarded the hosting rights of the tie's second leg. Despite not losing any of the two legs, Frontale didn't won any, either. At Cerezo, the match ended 1–1, giving a theoretical relief for Frontale ahead of the match, who only needed a 0–0 draw or a win to proceed in the competition. Frontale started the second leg winning 2–0, with Marcinho scoring two goals at the 40th and 53rd minute. Surprisingly, Frontale collapsed at the dying minutes of the match, conceding two heading goals at the 90th and 95th minute, respectively. [[File:Kawasaki Frontale v Kashiwa Reysol 2023-12-09 IMG 5406.jpg|thumb|273x273px|Kawasaki Frontale fans after their match against Kashiwa Reysol in 2023]] Following the elimination at the J.League Cup, only the J1 League title was then available for Frontale to chase. Oscillating placements throughout the campaign, the club still managed to finish five separate matchweeks at the top of the league in the first half of the season. In the second half of the season, though, never again did Frontale get past the second place. Serving as a minor consolation for their season, the club held to a hardly fought title chase alongside Sanfrecce Hiroshima (until the closing matchweeks). In December, at the 38th round, the last round of the season, Frontale were narrow two points away from first-placed Yokohama F. Marinos. A 13-goal difference was also in Frontale's way, meaning that in the more realistic scenario, Frontale needed to win their match and expect Marinos to lose theirs. Playing the round against FC Tokyo, Frontale were early threatened with a red card, as Jung Sung-ryong was sent off a few minutes after Frontale's first goal. Despite playing the rest of the match with 10 players, Frontale still managed to win past FC Tokyo by 3–2. Playing against Vissel Kobe, Marinos won the match by 3–1, and then were handed the J1 League title. On the plus side, finishing as the league's runners-up led the club to qualify for the 2023–24 AFC Champions League, entering the competition in the group stage.
On 9 December 2023, Frontale won the 2023 Emperor's Cup title, beating Kashiwa Reysol 8–7 in the penalty shootout after the match ended 0–0.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.jleague.jp/sp/news/article/26676/ |title=川崎Ｆが3大会ぶり2度目の優勝！柏とのPK戦にもつれ込む激闘を制す【サマリー：天皇杯 決勝】 |website=www.jleague.jp |language=Japanese |access-date=9 December 2023 |publisher=J.League }}</ref> This second national cup victory resulting their qualification for the 2024–25 AFC Champions League Elite, entering directly from the league stage.

On 16 October 2024, it was announced that Toru Oniki has stepped down as the head coach of the club at the end of 2024 season, following the expiration of his contract.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.frontale.co.jp/info/2024/1016_1.html|title=鬼木達監督 契約満了のお知らせ |website=www.frontale.co.jp |language=Japanese |access-date=18 November 2024 |publisher= Kawasaki Frontale }}</ref>
=== Reign of Shigetoshi Hasebe; First Asia final (2025–''present'') ===
Following the departure of Oniki, along with mid-table finish at 8th position in both 2023 and 2024, it was announced by Frontale that Shigetoshi Hasebe, who left his position at Avispa Fukuoka, would become the new manager for 2025 season.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.frontale.co.jp/info/2024/1212_1.html |title=長谷部茂利氏 監督就任のお知らせ |website=www.frontale.co.jp |language=Japanese |access-date=12 December 2024 |publisher= Kawasaki Frontale }}</ref> Hasebe began his tenure with a 4-0 victory over the Pohang Steelers in the 2024–25 AFC Champions League Elite group stage, and followed up with a 4–0 win over Nagoya Grampus in the J1 League opener. Kawasaki went on to defeat Chinese club Shanghai Shenghua with an aggregate of 5–1 in the AFC Champions League Elite round of 16 tie, thus advancing to the quarter-finals.
Playing at a centralized venue on Saudi Arabia from this stage on, Kawasaki faced off against Qatari side Al Sadd at the quarter-finals. Club captain Yasuto Wakizaka scored the winner in extra time putting the team to win 3–2, thus advancing to the club first ever semi-finals in the AFC Champions League Elite. They ended up qualifying to their first final as well, as Kawasaki beat Al-Nassr by the same 3–2 score, this time during the usual 90 minutes. At the final, they faced another Saudi Pro League team, Al-Ahli on 3 May 2025. Despite their efforts, Kawasaki finished the 2024–25 AFC Champions League as runners-up, losing by 2–0 to the Saudi side. The 2025 run to the final reinforced Frontale’s status as a major force in Asian football and represented a key milestone following their domestic dominance in the late 2010s and early 2020s.

=== Rivalries ===
==== Tamagawa Clásico ==== Frontale's rivalry with FC Tokyo is known as the Tamagawa Clásico (using the Spanish word ''"Clásico"'' as used in derbies in Spain and Latin America). The two clubs first met in the inaugural Kanto Soccer League in 1967, but did not meet again until 1991 in the old Japan Soccer League (JSL) Division 2 and were rivals for promotion to the J.League in the 1990s. They co-founded the new J2 League in 1999 and were promoted together the same year; although Frontale were immediately relegated, they were promoted again in 2005 and the two clubs have regularly met since.
Frontale also has a Tamagawa rivalry with Tokyo Verdy, which was originally also based in Kawasaki and subsequently moved to Chōfu in 2000. The two clubs were co-founders of the JSL Division 2 in 1972 and, although they spent 20 seasons (1979 to 1999) in separate tiers, their rivalry was rekindled in the late 1990s as Kawasaki fans deserted Tokyo Verdy to support Frontale, who were seen as a more community-focused club. Their fortunes have since been reversed, as Frontale is now a top flight mainstay while Tokyo Verdy sunk into the second tier in 2005, only recently being promoted back to J1 in 2024.
== Stadium == [[File:Todoroki 15031401.JPG|thumb|right|300px|Uvance Todoroki Stadium ]]Uvance Todoroki Stadium is the home ground of Frontale, located in Nakahara-ku. The stadium has been the club’s primary venue since its early years and serves as a central hub for football in the city.

Originally opened in 1962, the stadium has undergone multiple renovations and expansions to meet modern standards, including upgrades to seating, lighting, and facilities. It was formerly known as Todoroki Athletics Stadium before adopting its current name due to sponsorship agreements. In addition to hosting Kawasaki Frontale matches in the J1 League and the AFC Champions League Elite, the venue is also used for athletics events and other sporting activities.
The stadium is known for its strong home support, with the club’s supporters contributing to a notably active match-day atmosphere.
