Sanfrecce Hiroshima’s New Stadium Draws Attention for Unique Features and Prime Location

Sanfrecce Hiroshima is all set to unveil their new home stadium, Edion Peace Wing Hiroshima, as the J. League season kicks off on Friday. Located in the heart of the city and near the iconic Atomic Bomb Dome, the stadium aims to attract both locals and tourists with its year-round facilities and commercial offerings.

With a seating capacity of approximately 28,520, Edion Peace Wing Hiroshima provides a cozy and intimate setting for fans to enjoy the match experience. The proximity of the stands to the pitch, along with added comfort features like extra leg space and drink holders, enhances the overall enjoyment for spectators.

The decision to construct a new stadium stemmed from Sanfrecce’s success in winning their first J. League title in 2012. After careful consideration of potential locations, the club settled on a site north of the former Hiroshima Carp baseball team’s stadium. Their preseason match against Gamba Osaka drew a near-capacity crowd, setting the stage for an exciting season ahead.

Sanfrecce’s management envisions the stadium as a focal point for football in Hiroshima, drawing parallels to iconic sports venues like Jingu Stadium and the National Stadium in Tokyo. By limiting capacity and emphasizing visitor comfort, the club aims to create a unique and vibrant atmosphere for fans to enjoy the beautiful game.

As the team prepares to face Urawa Reds in their J1 season opener, the anticipation and excitement surrounding Edion Peace Wing Hiroshima are palpable. With a prime location and state-of-the-art amenities, the new stadium represents a significant milestone in Sanfrecce’s journey towards continued success in the J. League.
