Paloma Mizuho Stadium (パロマ瑞穂スタジアム, Paroma Mizuho Sutajiamu)[1] is a multi-purpose stadium in Nagoya, Japan.
It was formerly known as Nagoya City Mizuho Park Athletics Stadium (Japanese: 名古屋市瑞穂公園陸上競技場, romanized: Nagoyashi Mizuho Kōen Rikujō Kyōgijō). Since April 2015 it has been called Paloma Mizuho Stadium for the naming rights. It will be used for athletics and ceremonies for the 2026 Asian Games.
It was planned to be used as an Olympic venue in Nagoya’s bid plans for the 1988 Summer Olympics, but Nagoya lost the bid to Seoul, South Korea.
Overview
It is used mostly for football matches and is the part-time home stadium of Nagoya Grampus along with Toyota Stadium. The stadium holds 27,000 people and was built in 1941.
It is distinct from Mizuho Rugby Stadium, which has a capacity of 15,000 and is used mainly for rugby, including Top League games.
