League Yamazaki Nabisco Cup of 1992, the year before the J. League proper began, giving birth to the amazing fan base we see today. With the start of the J. League in 1993, however, Reds’ defensive frailty made the going hard and the team sank to the bottom of the table. Reds won only rarely in those early days even at their first home, the Komaba Stadium. The fans were disappointed but stood by their team. In fact, the support only grew. A German manager, Holger Osieck, took charge in 1995. Guido Buchwald and Uwe Bein had signed as players the previous summer. The team gained new balance with their leader- ship and climbed high in the league. The title was not to be, however, and the club instead again plumbed the depths in 1999 when it dropped to Division Two. Even on the day of darkest despair, however, when Reds’ relegation was sealed, the 20,000 fans who packed the Komaba Stadium did not turn against their team. They showed their commitment come what may by singing on and on: “We are Reds! We are Reds!” The unconditional love for Reds that filled the Komaba cauldron that day is the club’s greatest strength and treasure. Urawa Reds were promoted straight back the following year and grew strongly under the guidance of Hans Ooft to win the J. League Yamazaki Nabisco Cup in 2003. Guido Buchwald took charge in 2004 and steered them to victory in the J. League’s Second Stage.

Création : 2007 Stade(s) : SG Holdings Group Moriyama stadium (1.000 places) Site internet : http://www.sagawa-shiga-fc.jp/ Si Sagawa Shiga est né en 2007, son histoire est un peu plus ancienne et trouve ses origine dans deux équipe de la compagnie Sagawa Express l’une située à Tôkyô et l’autre à Osaka. Ces deux équipes faisaient parties du groupe Sagawa au même titre que plusieurs autres (West Sagawa express à Hokkaidô, une autre dans le Tôhoku, une autre à Kyoto (devenue Mio Biwako Kusatsu) ou dans le Chûgoku. Sagawa Tokyo et Osaka sont celles qui ont connus le plus de succès et elles sont parvenues à entrer en JFL début des années 2000 (Tokyo en 2001 et Osaka en 2002). Rapidement la formation de Tokyo s’est imposée comme une des formations dominante en JFL tandis que celle d’Osaka est restée dans le ventre mou. Toutes deux s’appuyaient déjà sur un recrutement alliant des jeunes joueurs de J-League et d’autres recrutés dans des universités. Malgré ce relatif succès, la structure du club est restée simple et contrairement à Honda FC, pas de centre de formation ni de projet d’implication locale. En 2007, les deux formations ont fusionné (toutes les autres équipes du groupe ont disparu, certainement un changement dans la politique de l’entreprise de concentrer ses efforts sur une seule formation) en une entité composée d’une moitié de l’effectif de chacune ce qui eu pour effet immédiat de faire décrocher son premier titre de JFL avec 14 points d’avance sur…Rosso Kumamoto et 23 sur le FC Gifu.

While Japan certainly possess talented players and have not missed a World Cup since their 1998 debut, they consistently underwhelm once they arrive at the big show. This summer may not be any different for them, especially given the turmoil in terms of the now former head coach Vahid Halilhodzic being sacked one month ago. With players like Shinji Kagawa, or Keisuke Honda, Genki Haraguchi, or even Leicester City’s Shinji Okasaki, Japan will field the talent to win games.
