Venue
The National Stadium in Tokyo was the venue that hosted this first edition of the Cup, and would also be the usual venue for the rest of the editions held in Tokyo until 2002 Intercontinental Cup, when the final moved to Nissan Stadium in Yokohama. The stadium was also known as "Olympic Stadium"
The Japan national football team's home matches and major football club cup finals (such as J1 League) were usually held at the stadium. The National Stadium was demolished in 2014 to make way for a larger stadium that hosted matches of the 2019 Rugby World Cup and 2020 Summer Olympics.
