History and description<\/h3>\n

Suita City Football Stadium was built to provide Gamba Osaka with a modern home. First plans for a new stadium were made in 2007, but it took until late 2013 for construction to start.<\/p>\n

The stadium got built on the Expo City grounds, the site of the 1970 World Expo, which also houses\u00a0Gamba Osaka’s previous home ground, the Expo ’70 Commemorative Stadium. The new stadium was financed by private donations, but upon completion ownership was transferred to the city of Suita.<\/p>\n

Suita City Football Stadium opened in October 2015, but it took until 14 February 2016 for the first match to be played at the stadium when Gamba Osaka hosted Nagoya Grampus in an exhibition match.<\/p>\n
