Aizu Athletic Park Stadium, Athletic stadium in Aizuwakamatsu, Japan
Aizu Athletic Park Stadium is a modern sports facility in Aizuwakamatsu with a full-size track and seating for approximately 7,300 people. The venue includes training grounds and locker facilities designed to host regional and national competitions.
The stadium opened on 1 April 2013 as a JAAF-certified third-class track venue, built because Aizuwakamatsu's older Aizu Stadium in Tsurugajo Park had an earth track whose records were not recognised. Its first event was a Japan Football League match on 12 May 2013, Fukushima United FC against Zweigen Kanazawa, the city's first national-league football game since the J.League was founded. In July 2014 it hosted the city's first J.League fixture, Fukushima United against FC Ryukyu.
