Where the 2002 World Cup Final was played
Nissan Stadium in Yokohama is Japan's largest football stadium with 72,327 seats. Built for the 2002 FIFA World Cup, it hosted the final where Brazil beat Germany. Today, it's the home of Yokohama F. Marinos, one of J-League's most attacking teams.
The Marinos experience
Attacking football
Yokohama F. Marinos play one of J-League's most attractive styles — high pressing, quick passing, and lots of goals. It's entertaining football that even casual fans can appreciate.
World Cup atmosphere
Even for regular J-League matches, the sheer scale of Nissan Stadium creates an impressive atmosphere. For big games (ACL, derbies), 40,000+ fans can turn up.
Getting there
JR Shin-Yokohama Station or Kozukue Station, both about 15 minutes on foot. Shin-Yokohama is a bullet train stop, making it accessible from anywhere in Japan.
Seats and prices
The stadium is large, so upper-tier center seats give you a tactical bird's-eye perspective. Main stand: ¥4,500-6,000 ($30-40). Back stand: ¥3,000-4,500 ($20-30). Goal end: ¥2,000-3,000 ($13-20).
How to buy tickets
Available through the Marinos official site and J-League ticket platform. The large capacity means tickets are generally available except for derby matches.
