Miyagi Stadium

Slated to exclusively host football matches at Tokyo 2020, the Miyagi Stadium has hosted matches at the 2002 FIFA World Cup™ and the 2012 FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup. It has a unique design that was made to evoke images of the crescent moon that adorned the helmet of Date Masamune, a 16th-century feudal lord who reigned over an area that includes present-day Miyagi Prefecture. The stadium, located in the town of Rifu, has a capacity of about 49,000.
