NACK5 Stadium Omiya, Football stadium in Ōmiya Park, Japan
NACK5 Stadium Omiya is a football stadium located in Omiya Park with a grass pitch and stands that hold around 15,500 spectators. The facility sits within a public recreational area and provides the essential infrastructure for hosting professional matches.
The stadium opened in 1960 and played an important role during the 1964 Summer Olympics, when it underwent modernization for the Games. It was later adapted to host the 1967 National Sports Festival.
The stadium's name comes from FM NACK5, a commercial radio station based in Ōmiya-ku that bought the naming rights in 2007. The main stand carries the word "OMIYA" in white letters on an orange background, while the back stand reads "NACK5". The ground is the home of Omiya Ardija, and its goal-end stands are built in two tiers.
The stadium is located in Takahanachō and can easily be reached via the Tobu Urban Park Line, making it convenient for match days. Its position within the public park means visitors can explore the surrounding area comfortably.
Diego Maradona made his international debut at this stadium during the 1979 World Youth Championship. Brazil's 2002 World Cup squad trained here before the semi-final, and Ronaldinho and teammates left signatures on the locker-room wall.
