Japan National Stadium

Tokyo, Japan is home to the Japan National Stadium. On the site of the previous National Stadium, the stadium opened on December 21, 2019. It has an 80,000-seat capacity and is the home of Japan's national football and rugby teams.

The Japan National Stadium, formerly known as New National Stadium, is a multi-purpose stadium in Kasumigaoka, Shinjuku, Tokyo, Japan, that is primarily used for association football. The stadium hosted the opening and closing ceremonies, as well as track and field athletics events at the 2020 Summer Olympics and 2020 Summer Paralympics, which took place in 2021.

The old National Stadium was demolished in May 2015, paving the way for the new stadium's development to begin on December 11, 2016.

After a public outcry over rising construction costs, Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe canceled the initial plans for the new stadium in July 2015 and launched a rebid. As a result, the new design did not arrive in time for the 2019 Rugby World Cup, as planned. In December 2015, a new design by architect Kengo Kuma was chosen to replace the original design, which was finished on November 30, 2019.

Capacity: 80,000
