Yodoko Sakura Stadium is the primary home ground for the Cerezo Osaka professional football club. Located within Nagai Park, the facility underwent extensive renovations completed in 2021 to increase its seating capacity to approximately 25,000 spectators. The stadium is specifically designed with a compact bowl layout that places fans in close proximity to the pitch. It replaced the Kincho Stadium and features a natural grass surface maintained to professional J1 League standards. The stadium serves as a major hub for sports entertainment in the Higashisumiyoshi Ward of Osaka. It occasionally hosts rugby matches and other multi-sport events outside of the football season.
