Originally named Chiba Soga Football Stadium (千葉市蘇我球技場, Chiba-shi Soga Kyūgijō), Fukuda Denshi, a medical electric instrument manufacturer, won the naming rights after outbidding several other candidates.
The location is a former Kawasaki Steel factory site.
The first international match was held on 30 May 2009, as the men's national teams of Belgium and Chile played out a 1-1 draw.
