{{nihongo|'''Egao Kenko Stadium'''|えがお健康スタジアム}} is a [[multi-purpose stadium]] in [[Higashi-ku, Kumamoto|Higashi-ku]], [[Kumamoto, Kumamoto|Kumamoto]], [[Japan]].  It is currently used mostly for [[association football]] matches – it is home to {{Japanese football updater|RoassoKu}} club [[Roasso Kumamoto]] – and sometimes for [[Top League]] rugby games. The stadium holds 30,228 people. 

With Rosso's promotion from the [[Japan Football League]] to the [[J. League Division 2]] in 2007, KKWing is expected to play a role in Rosso's ascendancy.

The stadium was used for the [[2019 Rugby World Cup]], the first [[Rugby World Cup]] to be held in Asia.<ref>{{cite web|title=World Rugby approves revised Japan 2019 hosting roadmap|url=http://www.rugbyworldcup.com/news/101763|publisher=World Rugby|access-date=22 October 2015}}</ref>

From 1 February 2017, the stadium adopted a new name as {{Nihongo|Egao Kenko Stadium|えがお健康スタジアム}} ({{Nihongo|Egao Sta|えがおスタ}} in abbreviation) due to [[naming rights]] contract.
