The stadium is named for Japan Institute of Sports Sciences, which administers it and is not actually the national stadium; that role is taken by the Tokyo National Stadium in Shinjuku.
The Ajinomoto Field Nishigaoka currently has a capacity of 7,137 and was the home stadium of former J3 League club FC Tokyo U-23, until its dissolution.
Also, some matches hosted at the stadium involve Japanese youth national teams and Tokyo Verdy's matches.
