AJINOMOTO STADIUM
GRB-1884
Tokyo Stadium is a multi-purpose stadium located in Ch?fu, Tokyo, Japan. The stadium was founded at Kant? Mura, the redevelopment area formerly used by USFJ, in March 2001. It was the first stadium in Japan that offered its naming rights, which were sold to Ajinomoto Co., Inc. with a 5-year 1.2 billion yen (about 10 million United States dollars) contract, from March 2003 to February 2008. As a result, it is currently named Ajinomoto Stadium.
The stadium is the home of the J. League football clubs F.C. Tokyo and Tokyo Verdy 1969 and is used as the venue of some lower divisions of football leagues. Rugby union and American football games are also held there. In 2002 FIFA World Cup, Saudi Arabia's national team placed their training camp at Ch?fu and used the stadium as a main training ground, although it did not host an actual World Cup match.
