[5] Following the success of the football team in the early 2010s, winning the 2012, 2013 and 2015 J1 League titles, plans to build a new stadium were once again brought to the fore.

[6] In February 2019, it was decided that the stadium would be built in the central park, within walking distance of the A-Bomb Dome and adjacent to Hiroshima Castle.

The inaugural game was a club friendly between Sanfrecce Hiroshima and Gamba Osaka on 10 February 2024, which the home team lost 1–2.

[9] The first competitive game was played on 23 February 2024 against Urawa Red Diamonds, with the hosts winning 2–0 and Yuki Ohashi scoring the first goal in the new stadium.

[10][11] Sanfrecce Hiroshima Regina played their first match at the new stadium on 3 March 2024, in a 2–1 league defeat to Albirex Niigata Ladies.

It has indentations in the corners on the south side and a pronounced depression in the north part, which was inspired by the "wings of hope" that symbolises Hiroshima.

The venue has VIP boxes, business seats, catering facilities as well as a museum, restaurants and shops to attract visitors outside of match days.

The project also includes the construction of pedestrian bridges over the adjacent streets and the creation of a small marina on the nearby arm of the Ōta River.
