Toyota Stadium (豊田スタジアム Toyota Sutajiamu?) is a 45,000 seat retractable roof stadium in Toyota, Aichi, Japan. It was built in 2001 and is home to the J. League club Nagoya Grampus. It is also used by Toyota Verblitz, a rugby union team in the Top League.
Its roof is unique in that it folds much like an accordion. The Toyota Motor Company is the title sponsor of the stadium.
Since 2005, Toyota Stadium is one of venues of the FIFA Club World Cup (formerly the FIFA Club Championship and the Toyota Cup).
