Aichi International Arena (愛知国際アリーナ, Aichi Kokusai Ariina), also known as IG Arena (IGアリーナ, IG Ariina) for sponsorship reasons, is a multi-purpose arena under construction in Kita-ku, Nagoya, Japan. Scheduled to open in July 2025, the arena will be a replacement for the Aichi Prefectural Gymnasium, which was built in 1964.
Overview
Aichi Prefectural Governor Hideaki Ōmura announced plans for the new arena in July 2017, almost a year after the prefecture and Nagoya city were unanimously selected to be the hosts of the 2026 Asian Games. A section of Meijō Park north of the Aichi Prefectural Gymnasium was chosen to build the new arena.
Designed by Japanese architect Kengo Kuma, Aichi International Arena will have a maximum seating capacity of 15,000. The arena will also host the annual grand sumo tournament that takes place in Nagoya every July. Despite prefectural documents listing a seating capacity of 11,000 for sumo matches, the Japan Sumo Association announced in December 2024 that capacity for the 2025 Nagoya tournament would be limited to around 7,800 seats.
In February 2024 it was announced that British financial company IG Group would have naming rights for the Aichi International Arena for ten years. The rights deal was arranged by AEG Worldwide.
