Shizuoka derby
The Shizuoka derby is the local derby in
Shizuoka Prefecture, Japan, between fierce rivals Shimizu S-Pulse and Júbilo Iwata.
History
Yamaha Motor SC was founded in 1972 by the employees of Yamaha Motor Company. Shimizu S-Pulse was founded in 1991 as the only J.League club not based on a corporate club, and Yamaha Motor changed club name to Júbilo Iwata and became professional in 1993.The Shizuoka derby is known as one of the most bitter derby matches in Japan. Both Shimizu and Iwata had hoped to become original clubs in the 1993 J.League, but Iwata which had a proven track record as an amateur wasn't selected in favor of the new club Shimizu. Shimizu caused controversy by signing four Iwata players Katsumi Oenoki, Fumiaki Aoshima, Masao Sugimoto and Brazilian Ademir Santos in preparation for the professional league. On the 28 May 2011 derby, the Iwata's ultras have slandered Iranian manager Afshin Ghotbi for criticising nuclear program of Iran.
