About this episode
This episode revisits the historical significance of Júbilo Iwata's 2002 campaign in the context of Japanese football.
In 2020, Kawasaki Frontale wrote history. In "J. Finest Hour", a column on historical winning teams in the Japanese football pyramid, we revisit other teams that had done the same. And we had to start from Júbilo Iwata, their 2002 campaign, and their shiny status at the beginning of the 2000s.
