{{nihongo|Toyota Stadium|豊田スタジアム|Toyota Sutajiamu}} is a stadium in Toyota, Aichi Prefecture, Japan. It has a retractable roof.

History

It was built in 2001 and is often used as home to the J1 League club Nagoya Grampus. The stadium is football-specific, which gives matches an authentic football aura; however, its location outside Nagoya city makes it impractical for consolidating the club's fan base in its billed hometown.

It is also used by Toyota Verblitz, a rugby union team in the Japan Rugby League One.

Its roof is unique in that it folds much like an accordion; however, the roof has never been closed since 2015 due to extra costs for maintenance.{{cn|date=July 2023}}

Toyota Stadium is one of the venues of the FIFA Club World Cup (formerly the Toyota Cup). The stadium was also used as one of the venues for 2019 Rugby World Cup, the first Rugby World Cup to be held in Asia.{{cite web|title=RWC 2019 MATCH VENUES|url=http://www.rugbyworldcup.com/venues|publisher=World Rugby|access-date=28 September 2019|archive-date=8 November 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161108073211/http://www.rugbyworldcup.com/venues|url-status=dead}} During the Rugby World Cup, the stadium was referred to as "City of Toyota Stadium" due to concerns under ambush marketing rules that the stadium's name could be interpreted as naming rights by car manufacturer Toyota (while the city is named after the company due to it being the location of its headquarters, Toyota does not sponsor the stadium).{{Cite web |title=Toyota Stadium removes name sign for Rugby World Cup sponsor |url=https://english.kyodonews.net/news/2019/09/44b7a911b36b-toyota-stadium-removes-name-sign-for-rugby-world-cup-sponsor.html |access-date=2024-12-28 |website=Kyodo News+}}
