is a professional football club based in Tokyo, Japan. They compete in the J1 League, the top tier of Japanese football. They were the inaugural champions of the J1 League in 1993.
Tokyo Verdy are one of the most successful clubs in the country winning 2 J1 League, 5 Emperor's Cup, 3 J.League Cup and 4 Japanese Super Cup. Continentally, the club also won the Asian Club Championship in the 1987 edition.
History
Founded as Yomiuri Football Club in 1969, Tokyo Verdy is one of the most decorated clubs in the J.League, with honours including 2 league titles, 5 Emperor's Cups, 6 JSL Cup/J.League Cups and an Asian Club Championship title, and the most successful team in Japanese football history with 25 titles. The club was an original member of the J.League in 1993.
Early years and rise to the top (1969–1983)
In October 1968, following Japan's bronze medal triumph at the 1968 Summer Olympics in Mexico City and the interest in football that ensued, Backed by the Yomiuri Group and NTV, Yomiuri Football Club firstly launched at Tokyo Local League B (5th tier) in 1969. They began gaining promotions from the Tokyo Local League to the Kanto Football League (3rd tier) in 1971. In 1971, Yomiuri marked 3rd place and promoted Japan Soccer League Second Division.
They were promoted to First Division in 1978, starting a long career of success in the top flight. Their first major title was the Japan Soccer League Cup in 1979.
Golden era (1983–1994)
From its days as Yomiuri , the ownership had visions of a football equivalent of the baseball team Yomiuri Giants, a star-studded powerhouse with fans across Japan. As Japanese football began its transition from the JSL to the J.League in the early 1990s, it invested heavily in stars and featured Japan internationals Kazuyoshi Miura, Ruy Ramos and Tsuyoshi Kitazawa.
J.League dominance
The JSL disbanded and reformed as the professional J.League in 1993. At this time the team professionalized and renamed itself Verdy Kawasaki, "Coined from the Portuguese "VERDE" meaning "green" probably named after their green jersey colour "Tokyo Greens/Tokyo Verdi", although the color was picked in homage to Brazilian club Palmeiras, a team admired by one of Yomiuri's first idols, São Paulo-born George Yonashiro. Although Yomiuri was dropped from the name as the club spun off from the company, the team remained under Yomiuri's ownership until 1997, when it was acquired by Nippon Television Network, the broadcast arm of the Yomiuri Group.
Lack of success and support (1995–2000)
This early success did not last, however, and as the stars aged, the team's performance suffered. Verdy's 1st-place finish in the 2nd stage of the 1995 season would be its last stage victory and the 1996 Emperor's Cup would be its last major title of the decade. A downturn in the national economy and the cooling of the J.League fad meant all teams had to cut expenses. This meant Verdy could no longer buy expensive replacements for its aging stars.
The 1996 J.League season saw Verdy Kawasaki finish in 7th place overall, the lowest standing in the league's existence at that point, and would fall further in the 1997 season, finishing 16th and 12th, in the 1st stage and 2nd stage, respectively, and 15th overall out of 17 teams. Although Verdy looked to return to prominence in 1999, finishing 2nd in the 1st Stage, the resurgence was short-lived as it fell to 10th in the 2nd stage.
Meanwhile, the team's efforts to become "Japan's Team" alienated local fans in Kawasaki. The expensive salaries and struggling attendance caused the club's debts to mount. Struggling to compete with the newly professionalized crosstown rival Kawasaki Frontale and the nearby Yokohama Marinos and Yokohama Flügels, Verdy made the decision to leave Kawasaki.
Return to Tokyo (2001–2005)
In 2001, the club returned from Kawasaki to Chōfu, Tokyo and was renamed as Tokyo Verdy 1969 to reflect the new hometown and the club's origins as Yomiuri. Although Verdy made the move to increase its fan base and distance itself from its rivals, by this time Tokyo was already home to a J1 club in FC Tokyo. Despite a sharp increase in crowd numbers for Verdy, this was still well below those of FC Tokyo. Their new local rivals had been promoted to J1 in 2000 and had already captured a vast number of the supporters Verdy had been hoping to attract.
In its first year in Tokyo, Tokyo Verdy 1969 found itself trailing FC Tokyo in the standings as well, and finished last in the division at 16th in the first stage of the 2001 season. Only the play of midseason acquisition Edmundo and a win in the final match of the second stage saved the club from relegation to J2. Tokyo Verdy was back at the bottom of the table in the first stage of the 2002 season, but again finished the season strong, placing 4th in the second stage.
Two mid-table finishes followed in 2003 and 2004, before Tokyo Verdy, under Osvaldo Ardiles, won the Emperor's Cup on 1 January 2005, its first major title in 9 years and the first in Tokyo. Winning the cup earned Verdy a spot in the 2006 AFC Champions League.
However, the 2005 season saw Tokyo Verdy 1969 fall to its worst finish of its history, finishing 17th out of 18. This was the first season after the scrapping of the two-stage season format, and Tokyo Verdy were relegated to J2, after 28 years of top flight football. The season was marked by three huge losses in July: 1–7 to Gamba Osaka on 2 July, 0–7 to Urawa Red Diamonds on 6 July and a 6–0 loss to Júbilo Iwata on 17 July. Tokyo Verdy then sacked Ardiles two days later. At the time of his sacking, Ardiles' team had conceded 23 goals in their last 5 matches and had a 9 match winless streak.
Brief promotion (2007–2008)
For the 2006 season, the club appointed former Verdy Kawasaki legend, Ruy Ramos, as manager on 22 December 2005. Tokyo Verdy 1969 found itself in the odd position of competing in the AFC Champions League while playing in the second tier of the national league system. After Tokyo Verdy 1969 was relegated, the club released many of the veteran players, leaving a core of young players, most notably Takayuki Morimoto, who became the youngest player to score in the J.League at age 15 in 2004.
In the 2007 season, Tokyo Verdy managed to beat Thespa Kusatsu 5–0 on the first day. After a brief scuffle with Consadole Sapporo over the J2 title, Tokyo Verdy 1969 had to settle for runners-up position, enough to earn promotion back into the top flight for 2008. At this time the club renamed itself for the second time, dropping 1969 from its team name, but the management corporation name remained as Tokyo Verdy 1969.
Verdy would eventually be relegated once again after finishing in 17th place (second to last) in their 2008 J1 League return.
Back to the second tier (2009–2023)

On 17 September 2009, NTV announced it would divest itself of shares in the club and transfer it to a new holding company, Tokyo Verdy Holdings, ending 40 years of Yomiuri/NTV direct financial support. The J.League approved the transfer, but made it a condition that Verdy find a new sponsor by 16 November or risk not being able to play J2 football for the 2010 season.
In October 2010, Tokyo Verdy signed a five-year sponsorship deal with sports retail store and apparel company Xebio.
The sponsorship deal saw the Xebio logo placed on Tokyo Verdy's kit and included naming rights for two regular season home games.

The identity of Tokyo Verdy is strongly associated with its distinctive green colour, which has been the club’s primary colour since its foundation as Yomiuri in 1969. Because of this, the club is often simply referred to as "Verdy," derived from the Portuguese and Spanish word verde, meaning green.
The club’s crest has undergone several changes throughout its history, reflecting shifts in identity and ownership. The emblem typically incorporates elements symbolising strength and tradition, including a stylised bird and shield design. The name "Verdy" itself was adopted when the club became Verdy Kawasaki during the early years of the J.League.
Tokyo Verdy has historically been known for its emphasis on youth development, producing many notable Japanese footballers who have gone on to represent the Japan national football team. The club’s academy system has long been regarded as one of the most influential in Japanese football.
Rivalries
Tokyo Derby
thumb|288x288px|Tokyo Verdy fans in the Tokyo Derby in 2011
The principal rivalry of Tokyo Verdy is with fellow Tokyo-based club FC Tokyo. Matches between the two teams are known as the Tokyo Derby. The rivalry developed after FC Tokyo joined the professional leagues in the late 1990s and became the other major club representing Tokyo in the J.League. The derby reflects competition for football prominence within the Japanese capital. These encounters are often played at Ajinomoto Stadium, which both clubs have used as their home venue. Matches between the two sides regularly attract large crowds and strong interest from supporters.
Tama River Derby
Tokyo Verdy also shares a historical rivalry with Kawasaki Frontale, known as the Tama River Derby. The rivalry originates from the period when Verdy was based in Kawasaki and competed with other clubs in the region for local dominance.
Although the clubs are now based in different cities, matches between Tokyo Verdy and Kawasaki Frontale continue to carry historical significance due to their shared past and geographic proximity along the Tama River region.
Other sports
Verdy is a polideportivo and also fields teams in women's football, volleyball, and triathlon. Nippon TV Tokyo Verdy Beleza, which is the women team of Tokyo Verdy, is the 12 time Nadeshiko League champions, 14 time Empress's Cup winners and 1 time AFC Women's Club Championship winners.
Stadium
thumb|240x240px|[[Ajinomoto Stadium]]
Verdy plays its home games at the Ajinomoto Stadium, a multi-purpose stadium located in the western part of Tokyo with a capacity of 49,970 and serves as one of the major football venues in the Japanese capital. Tokyo Verdy shares the stadium with city rivals FC Tokyo, although occasional home matches are played in other stadiums in Tokyo, such as the Ajinomoto Field Nishigaoka.
In addition to league matches, the stadium has hosted numerous domestic cup competitions within the J.League system, including fixtures in the Emperor's Cup and the J.League Cup. The stadium’s large capacity and modern facilities have made it an important venue for major football events in Tokyo.
Before relocating to Tokyo, the club played its home matches in Kawasaki, including at Uvance Todoroki Stadium by Fujitsu during its early years as Verdy Kawasaki.
Kit suppliers and shirt sponsors
Tokyo Verdy's main colors are green.
The club's name was coined from the Portuguese, or Spanish, or Italian, or Esperanto "verde" meaning "green", probably named after their green jersey colour, so the meaning is "Tokyo Greens/Tokyo Verdi".
