Known for its ties to Brazilian soccer, Kashima currently features three Brazilian players and is managed by former Brazil assistant manager Jorginho. Brazilian legend Zico ended his storied career at Antlers when he represented the club from 1991 to 1994 and is regarded as a club icon.

Kashima’s 6th place  league finish and 5th round Emperor’s Cup exit in 2011 means the club will miss the AFC Champions League for the first time since 2007 this season.
