Fukui Prefectural Athletic Stadium, Athletic stadium in Fukui, Japan.

The Fukui Prefectural Athletic Stadium features a 400-meter all-weather track with eight lanes, natural grass field, and designated areas for specialized track events.

The stadium opened in 1967 and hosted the National High School Sports Festival that year, followed by the 23rd National Sports Festival in 1968.

The stadium received its nickname '9.98 Stadium' in 2018 to commemorate Yoshihide Kiryu's historic 9.98-second sprint, the first sub-10 second time by a Japanese athlete.

The facility operates daily from 8:30 AM to 8:30 PM, offering parking for 1,136 vehicles and direct bus connections from Fukui Station's west exit.

The stadium's design incorporates elements that create favorable wind conditions, contributing to multiple national records in jumping and sprint events.
