Denka Co., Corporate Communications Dept., 2021/ Publisher: 1, July. Published: Have you heard of Niigata Stadium, also known as “Denka Big Swan Stadium,” located on the banks of the Toyanogata Lake in Niigata Prefecture? Constructed as one of the 2002 FIFA World Cup venues, Niigata Stadium celebrates its 20th anniversary this year. It has been recognized under the name of “Denka” since 2014, when Denka acquired the naming rights. Its distinctive design resembles a swan spreading its wings as if to take off. With a capacity of 40,000 people, it is also used as a home stadium for Albirex Niigata, a local soccer team in the J2 league. It has also been awarded the J league Best Pitch Award six times for its well-maintained pitch. Using this stadium as a base, Denka has been actively spons oring sporting events such as the Denka Athletics Challenge Cup*1, which has been held every year since 2019. Denka decided to acquire the naming rights due to its strong connection with Niigata Prefecture. Currently, around 2,000 employees, or one third of the entire Denka Group, work in Niigata prefecture.
