history

Hataka-no-Mori Stadium opened in 1995 for the Fukuoka Summer Universiade . The owner is the city of Fukuoka, operator of an independent non-profit foundation ( kōeki-zaidan-hōjin ), the Fukuoka-shi midori no machizukuri kyōkai ( 福岡 市 緑 の ま ち づ く り 協会 German 'Society for Green Urban Renewal of the City of Fukuoka' , English Fukuoka Town Planning Association ), which is responsible for green spaces and sports facilities across the city. The football team of the security company Chūō Bōhan moved as a JFL team from Fujieda to Fukuoka and was now called Fukuoka Brooks. In 2003, the establishment of the Top League brought regular league games for the Fukuoka-based teams from Kyūshū Denryoku and Coca-Cola to the stadium. In 2009 it was the venue for the new IRB U20 Junior World Championship. In 2019 it will be used for the rugby world championship .

The ten billion JPY (approx. € 75.3 million ) sports facility is located in the Higashihirao district in the Hakata district to the east of Fukuoka Airport . Next door, in Higashihirao Park (nicknamed Hakata no Mori , meaning “Hakata Forest”), there is a baseball and tennis facility , an athletics stadium with an outdoor court and the “Accion Fukuoka” ( ア ク シ オ ン 福岡 Akushion Fukuoka ), which consists of a hall and a swimming stadium .
