Club career
[edit]Early career and Kashima Antlers
[edit]Tsunemoto began his youth career with Machida Ogawa FC;[citation needed] he then entered the academy of Yokohama F. Marinos, where he served as a captain in the youth ranks,[2] before being promoted to the first team as a Type 2 player (allowing him to keep playing for the club's under-18 squad) at the start of the 2016 season.[2][3] In 2017, following his graduation from high school, he committed to Meiji University, and played college football until he graduated in 2020.[2]
On 19 June 2020, Tsunemoto started his first professional career with J1 League club Kashima Antlers, signing a contract set to be active from the 2021 season;[2][4] however, he was officially registered as a designated special player by the club in September of the same year.[5] On 11 November, he made his professional and J.League debut, coming on as a substitute for Kei Koizumi in the 79th minute of a 2–3 away win over his former club Yokohama F. Marinos.[6][7]
On 27 June 2021, Tsunemoto scored his first professional goal in a 4–0 league win over Hokkaido Consadole Sapporo.[8]

He made his debut for Servette on 22 July, starting and playing 90 minutes in a 3–1 league away victory over Grasshoppers.[11][12] Three days later, on 25 July, he made his debut in a continental competition, starting and playing 90 minutes in an UEFA Champions League qualifying game against Genk, as the match eventually finished 1–1.[13][14] On 5 October, he made his UEFA Europa League debut, starting in a 4–0 loss to Roma in the group stage.[15]
On 24 July 2024, Tsunemoto scored his first goal for the Swiss club in a 3–1 home league win over Young Boys.[16]
