Saiki Stadium is an athletic and baseball facility in Saiki with a main grandstand and lawn areas that accommodate roughly 5,000 spectators. The complex serves as a multipurpose sports venue for local and regional competitions.
The facility gained international attention in 2001 when the Tunisian national soccer team used it as a training base before the 2002 FIFA World Cup. This connection brought worldwide focus to the stadium during a significant moment in global sports.
Following Japanese business practices, the facility underwent a name change to Saeki Central Hospital Athletics Stadium in 2019 through a naming rights agreement.
The stadium is located in the Saiki area and is best reached by car, especially for visitors coming from the main train station. Plan extra time for travel and check for parking availability before your visit.
