History and Highlights

​EDION PEACE WING HIROSHIMA​ is a soccer stadium opened in February 2024 inside Chuo Park in central Hiroshima City. It serves as the home stadium for the J.League team Sanfrecce Hiroshima, with its official name under Hiroshima City ordinance being the "Hiroshima Soccer Stadium." It received its current name after EDION Corporation acquired the naming rights. The name embodies the wish for permanent peace and taking flight toward a bright future filled with dreams and hope. The distinctive roof, designed in the image of wings, also serves as an origin of the name.

With 42 different seat types and approximately 30,000 seats, visitors can choose from a wide variety of viewing styles. In August 2024, the adjacent lawn plaza and waterside plaza opened, forming an urban downtown park called "Hiroshima Stadium Park" together with the stadium.

Viewing and Experience Points

• ​Closeness to the Pitch​​: The stands are as close as 8 meters from the pitch at the nearest point. This significantly closes the previous stadium's distance of roughly 30 to 40 meters, allowing spectators to hear the players calling out and the sound of the ball being kicked. The home stand behind the goal features a single, steeply inclined tier of seating, allowing spectators to cheer together as one.
• ​Hiroshima Soccer Museum​​: A museum located on the first floor of the stadium. It conveys the journey of Hiroshima, which has been called a soccer kingdom, along with the relationship between soccer and the city's post-bombing reconstruction, centered around the theme of peace.
• ​Plazas on Non-Match Days​​: The adjacent lawn plaza and waterside plaza are lined with cafes and other shops. Even on days without matches, visitors can easily drop by while shopping or taking a walk.

Tips for Exploring

It is about a 10-minute walk from the Genbaku Dome-mae tram stop on the streetcar line or from the Hiroshima Bus Center. Because surrounding roads become congested on days with matches or large events, arriving by public transit is recommended. Hiroshima Castle, the Atomic Bomb Dome, and Peace Memorial Park are also nearby, making it easy to visit them together on foot. Highlights for each can be found on their respective spot pages.
