History
Founded in 1940 as Hitachi, Ltd. Soccer Club in Koganei, Tokyo, the team had some success during the mid-1970s, winning several Emperor's Cup and JSL titles and contributing several players to the Japanese national team. In 1986, the team relocated from Koganei to Kashiwa.The team joined the Japan Football League 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 unsuccessful 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.
Following a 16th place out of 18 finish in the 2005 standings, Kashiwa Reysol lost a playoff against the 3rd place J2 team Ventforet Kofu. For the first time, three J1 teams were sent down to J2.
