One of the biggest grounds in Japan, Saitama Stadium 2002 holds 63,000 people in a ground built specifically for football.
Home to Japan's most successful J-League club, the Urawa Red Diamonds, the ground is expected to be the noisiest of Japan's World Cup venues.
The Saitama prefecture is on the northern outskirts of the greater Tokyo metropolitan area.
The stadium itself is situated just outside the city of Urawa. It will host three group matches plus the Japan-based semi-final on 26 June.
