With a capacity of around 68,000, it will host all the athletics and football events, as well as the opening and closing ceremonies.

Tokyo's new Olympic Stadium will be the focal point of the Games in 2021 and will host the Opening and Closing Ceremonies, athletics, and various football matches. The stadium was constructed with a hybrid wood and steel frame, with the wood in the roof structure coming from all 47 prefectures in Japan.

The New Natioanl Stadium or Tokyo Olympic Stadium was the main stage in the iconic ‘64 games and once again it was the center for the 2020 Olympic Games. Both the Opening and Closing Ceremonies and the athletics were held at the officially called New National Stadium (新国立競技場 Shin kokuritsu kyōgijō).

The centrepiece of the coronavirus-delayed 2020 Olympic Games is the new 68,000 capacity Japan National Stadium designed by Kuma. The stadium is one of only a handful of venues built specifically for the Games, with the majority of events set to be hosted in existing buildings as part of the event's push to "deliver a sustainable Games".
