Fukui Prefectural Athletic Stadium

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

Fukui Prefectural Athletic Stadium is an athletic facility in Fukui featuring a 400-meter track with eight lanes, a natural grass playing field, and designated areas for various track-and-field events. The venue is designed to accommodate regional and national competitions.

The stadium opened in 1967 and hosted the National High School Sports Festival that same year, followed by the 23rd National Sports Festival in 1968. Since its establishment, it has grown into a major venue for nationwide athletic competitions.

The nickname '9.98 Stadium', announced by Fukui Prefecture on 16 February 2018, marks Yoshihide Kiryu's 9.98-second 100 m at the 9 September 2017 Japanese university championships, the first official Japanese record under 10 seconds. The stadium also hosts the Athlete Night Games, first held on 17 August 2019, where Seitaro Shiroyama and Shunsuke Takayama set Japanese records.

The stadium sits inside Fukui Athletic Park, reached by Keifuku Bus routes 70 and 71 (Undōkōen line) at the "Undōkōen Minamimon-mae" stop. The park also holds Fukui Prefectural Baseball Stadium and Fukui Prefectural Gymnasium, so allow time to find the track among them.

The home straight is known for catching a tailwind, which is why the Athlete Night Games in Fukui, first held on 17 August 2019, produced a Japanese record in the men's long jump by Shotaro Shiroyama and in the men's 110 m hurdles by Takayuki Takayama, while Asuka Terada equalled the women's 100 m hurdles record. The men's 110 m hurdles record fell again at the 2025 edition.
