{{nihongo|'''NACK5 Stadium Omiya'''|ナックファイブスタジアム大宮|Nakku-faibu Sutajiamu Ōmiya}} is a [[association football|football]] [[stadium]] located in [[Ōmiya-ku, Saitama|Ōmiya-ku]], [[Saitama (city)|Saitama]], [[Japan]]. It is the home stadium of [[J2 League]] club [[RB Omiya Ardija]].

It was formerly known as '''Omiya Football Stadium'''. Since 14 May 2007 it has been called {{nihongo|'''NACK5 Stadium Omiya''' |ナックファイブスタジアム大宮|Nakku-faibu Sutajiamu Ōmiya}} for the [[naming rights]].

==History==
Built in 1960, it was one of the first stadia in Japan dedicated to the code.
The grandstands were added to host several matches of [[1964 Summer Olympics]] and 1967 [[National Sports Festival of Japan]].  
The stadium used to accommodate 12,500 spectators.

In 2006-2007 it was closed for expansion works to meet the J. League Division 1 requirements for Ardija to host its home matches. Ardija used [[Saitama Stadium|Saitama Stadium 2002]] and [[Urawa Komaba Stadium]] until works were complete.

From 14 May 2007 it would be called {{nihongo|NACK5 Stadium Omiya|ナックファイブスタジアム大宮|Nakku-faibu Sutajiamu Ōmiya}} to reflect a six-year sponsorship from {{nihongo|[[FM NACK5]]|エフエムナックファイブ|Efu Emu Nakku-Faibu}} (JODV-FM, 79.5&nbsp;MHz), an [[independent radio|independent commercial radio]] station based in Ōmiya-ku and covering Saitama Prefecture.

The expansion works were complete in October 2007 and since it accommodates 15,491 spectators.

On 11 November, the re-opening match was held as a J. League season match between the Ardija and [[Oita Trinita]] (1-2).

==In popular culture==
In ''[[Captain Tsubasa]]'', the stadium was used for the High School National Championships.
