Urawa Red Diamonds
The Urawa Red Diamonds (浦和レッドダイヤモンズ, Urawa Reddo Daiyamonzu) or simply Urawa Reds (浦和レッズ, Urawa Rezzu), also known as Mitsubishi Urawa Football Club from April 1992 to January 1996, are a professional football club in the city of Saitama, part of the Greater Tokyo Area in Japan, who play in the J1 League, the top tier of Japanese football.
The club's name comes from the former city of Urawa, now part of Saitama, and pre-professional era parent company Mitsubishi, whose logo consists of three red diamonds, one of which remains within the current club badge.
Urawa Reds are one of the most successful clubs in the country and various domestic titles winning 1 J1 League title including a joint-record 8 Emperor's Cups, 2 J.League Cup and 5 Japanese Super Cup. Continentally, Urawa Reds became a 3 time AFC Champions League winner cementing their place in history as Asian champions (most recently in 2022) . The club also won the J.League Cup / Copa Sudamericana Championship in 2017. Internationally, Urawa Reds has made three appearances in the FIFA Club World Cup with their best results being in the 2007 edition finishing in third place.
Mitsubishi Heavy Industries established a football club in 1950 in Kobe and moved the club to Tokyo in 1958. In 1965 it formed the Japan Soccer League (JSL) along with today's JEF United Chiba, Kashiwa Reysol, Cerezo Osaka, Sanfrecce Hiroshima and three other clubs who have since been relegated to regional leagues ("Original Eight").
Mitsubishi first won the JSL championship in 1969, as a break in Mazda/Sanfrecce's dominance (and also with the fact that Toyo were in Bangkok, Thailand, competing in the Asian Club Cup); their runs up the first division were sporadic but steady until the 1980s when they fell into the Second Division. In 1990 they were promoted as JSL Division 2 champions, and thus were ready when the J-League implementation began in earnest. Urawa Red Diamonds was an original member ("Original Ten") of the J.League in 1993.
Mitsubishi were the first Japanese club to complete a domestic treble, when in 1978 they won the title, the Emperor's Cup and the Japan Soccer League Cup.
The club's name was then changed to ''Mitsubishi Urawa Football Club'' from in April 1992 where their nickname was "Red Diamonds". However, in February 1996, the club's name was changed to "Urawa Red Diamonds".
The club has experienced varying degrees of success since the inception of the J-League. The team finished at the bottom of the league for the first two seasons, with an average attendance of fewer than 15,000. In 1999, they were relegated to the second tier of Japanese football once again., the club's performance has improved in years, beginning with a victory in the 2003 Nabisco Cup.
