History
editThe stadium has been used as a venue for several international sporting events, beginning with the 1992 AFC Asian Cup. The stadium was also a venue for the 1994 Asian Games football events.[1]
On February 1, 2022, the Bingo Stadium grounds were officially named "Kozakakun Sports Park Bingo" (Japanese: こざかなくんスポーツパークびんご). The rights were purchased by Kataoka Co., Ltd. for 3 million yen (about US$20,000) per year. The agreement between Kataoka and Hiroshima Prefecture is for five years and will end on March 31, 2027.[2]
In June 2022, the stadium was renovated to achieve Japan Association of Athletics Federations Type 2 certification.[3]
