positive that we are bracing
ourselves for the biggest eventthat we have organised in the
18 years of running the Stadia &Arena series.

Without the professionalism	of our partners – Space MediaJapan – and the support ofthe various organisations,committees, sponsors andexhibitors this would not havebeen possible.

the event. ”				Neil Levett

Situated in the heart of Yokohama’s new urban centre, Yokohama Arena is Japan’s premier multi-purpose

Yokohama International Swimming Pool
Yokohama International Swimming Pool is one of the largest aquatic facilities in Japan and includes aninternationally-approved swimming pool.
Nicknamed the “Water Arena”, the main pool is pretty unique, being able to transform into an arena for
the winter season, when it becomes ‘home’ to the professional basketball team, Yokohama B-Corsairs.
The venue can also be used as tennis courts from November to March.

Nissan Stadium
As one of the host venues for the 2002 FIFA World Cup™, the 72,327-seat Nissan Stadium boasts thelargest spectator capacity in Japan.
All seats within the stadium are individually sectioned, with 90cm of space between rows, so thatspectators can sit back and enjoy the game in comfort. And to ensure that spectators do not miss anyof the drama, large screens have been installed to show instant replays, as well as the latest stats andscores. Additionally, the sound coming from the 528 loudspeakers adds emotion and excitement to
the game.
Three quarters of the seating area is covered by a large roof, with a total length of 146m, which has botha movable and a static part. It can extend by as much as 5.5m, covering all of the press and VIP seats.
