Honda’s first professional club was Nagoya Gampus Eye, for which he started playing at the age of 17. In his first season, Honda played only one game for the team, and since 2005 (the season in Japan is played according to the “spring-autumn” scheme), he has become a full-fledged player of the starting line-up.

Starting in 2018, Keisuke Honda began playing for Melbourne Victory, which was founded in 2004 after the reorganization of the Australian championship. Interestingly, part of the salary of the Japanese Keisuke Honda (which is almost $ 3 million per season) is paid by a special fund created by the Australian Football Federation to attract famous players to the country.

Great field vision, a good pass and a well-placed shot – all this is about Keisuke Honda. And despite his young age, he quickly became one of the leaders of the club. In total, he played three full seasons for Melbourne Victory, making 103 appearances and scoring 13 goals.
