Fujieda Soccer Stadium, Soccer stadium in Fujieda, Japan.
Fujieda Soccer Stadium is a football-specific ground in Fujieda, Shizuoka Prefecture, completed in May 2002. Its 28,000-square-metre site holds a three-storey reinforced-concrete main stand for 5,100 and a back stand for 3,860, with two-tier grass terraces cut into the hillsides on the side stands. The pitch measures 105 by 68 metres and is planted with Tifton turf.
Completed in May 2002, the stadium hosted Senegal's training camp for that year's FIFA World Cup, sharing duties with the Fujieda Shimin Ground. In September 2003 it was the main football venue of the 58th National Sports Festival, the New!! Wakafuji Kokutai. Fujieda MYFC has used it as its home ground since the club's founding.
The Soccer Gallery in the main stand displays memorabilia from the 2002 FIFA World Cup camp of the Senegal national team and from Shizuoka Prefectural Fujieda Higashi High School, alongside exhibits on Fujieda-born players Makoto Hasebe, Masashi Nakayama and Nobuhisa Yamada.
The stadium is over 5 km from JR Fujieda Station. On weekends the Fujieda Station Yuraku line stops at Horinouchi-shita, about 10 minutes on foot, with seven runs a day; Shizutetsu Just Line buses to Kanabukibashi run about 20 times a day. Shuttle buses serve Fujieda MYFC home matches, and the park has 1,400 parking spaces.
The stadium adjusts its capacity depending on the event type, holding 13,000 spectators for general events and 10,057 for official J.League matches. This flexibility allows it to serve different soccer competitions with appropriate seating arrangements.
