Kashiwa
Reysol is a J. League team. Its name Reysol comes from two Spanish words rey
or 'king' and sol or 'sun' and reflects the fact that the team had
originally been a company team of Hitachi. Its home town is Kashiwa, Chiba.
Founded in 1940 as Hitachi, Ltd. Soccer Club in Koganei, Tokyo. The team
joined the JFL in 1992 and added Careca of the Brazil national football team
with the aim of winning the JFL champion for promotion to the J1 league in
1993. The quest was unsuccesful and the team barely managed to come in at
the fifth spot. In 1994 the team secured the second spot in the JFL and
earned the promotion to the top league. Since 1995, it had been in the J1
and on 1998, the team welcomed the former manager for Japan's Olympic team,
Akira Nishino as its manager. In 1999, it won its first title, the Nabisco
Cup championship.
