Shiranami Stadium was scheduled to be held in Kagoshima in 2020The 75th National Sports Festival (Burning Inspiration Kagoshima Kokutai) Renovation work will be carried out, and the prefecture has indicated its intention to carry out construction work to meet the aforementioned requirements. Due to the outbreak of the new coronavirus, the above national events have been postponed to 2023. When Kagoshima applied for a J2 licence in 2016, it was found that it did not meet the A requirement of the stadium standard, and that "there was no written agreement that more than 80% of home games can be held at the home stadium (due to renovation work)" and "it is not possible to guarantee that the stadium will always be able to seat 10,000 spectators throughout the season (due to the unavailability of the main stand in 2016 due to renovation work) The club explained that it was decided not to issue a club license even if the renovation work of Shiranami Stadium was completed, it was revealed that it was difficult to meet the B grade item of "the roof covers more than one-third of the spectator seats. As for whether Shiranami Stadium meets the stadium standards, J.League's Stadium Promotion Group Manager Jinji Sato explained, "We won't know unless we look at the specific details.

In March 2017, in the previous year's mayoral election, Kagoshima Mayor Hiroyuki Mori, who won four elections with a pledge to consider the development of the stadium, established the "Soccer Stadium Development Review Council" composed of experts, sports-related organisations, and representatives of economic-related organisations, mainly in the city, and started full-scale consideration]. At the second meeting held on June 27, it was agreed to build a new dedicated stadium in Kagoshima City]. The location will be considered in the future, but Mayor Mori was positive about building on the site of the former Dolphin Port (Honko Shinmachi, Kagoshima City). However, the landowner Kagoshima Prefecture at the time Governor Santanen Nori said, "Sports facilities will not be considered on the site of the dolphin port," and showed a negative view of this

In the 2018 season license applied for in 2017, the intention to build a new stadium was expressed in writing by the prefecture and the city, so the J2 license was issued.

In the 2020 license applied for in 2019, a J1 license based on "Exception 2" was issued.

The Kagoshima City Council revealed in a personal question on December 12, 2022, that it had not estimated the cost of renovation for Shiranami Stadium to become a J1 standard. He explained.

On June 23, 2023, the J.League issued a notice to the clubs to check the situation, as the new stadium master plan has not been formulated even six years after obtaining the J2 license in 2017. If the requested materials cannot be submitted within the same month, the club that was in second place in the J3 League in the promotion zone at this time will not be issued a J2 license or higher in the 2024 season, regardless of the results of the 2023 season, and may not be promoted to J2 (J3 remaining or less

Initially, Kagoshima United FC returned the concept of the prefectural land on the site of the above Dolphin Port site to a blank sheet of paper in June 2023, and there was a plan to have a development plan at the North Pier and a plan to renovate the grass seats behind the goal at Shiranami Stadium. It is said that the prefecture and city are required to submit a letter of intent. In addition, the provisions of exception 2 are based on the premise of the completion of the new stadium, and the renovation and renovation of Shiranami Stadium will eliminate the basis for this, suggesting that there is a possibility that a license of J2 or higher will not be issued (= promotion to J2 or higher].

After that, on September 26, the J.League decided to continue issuing a special conditional J1 license using exception, but "Shiranami Stadium" was issued with a condition (sanction) that obliged to submit a document to the J.League because the standard for the roof laying rate did not meet the standard value.

Improvement

Shiranami Stadium, formerly known as Kagoshima Kamoike Stadium, is a multi-purpose stadium located in Kagoshima, Japan. It primarily hosts football and rugby union matches. Since April 2018, it has been called Shiranami Stadium due to naming rights. The stadium serves as the home ground for Kagoshima United FC in the Japan Football League and Je Vrille Kagoshima, a women’s soccer club. Originally opened in 1972, it has an official capacity of 19,934 spectators1.

In recent years, there have been discussions about the stadium’s compliance with J.League standards. When Kagoshima applied for a J2 license in 2016, it was found that Shiranami Stadium did not meet certain requirements. Specifically, there was no written agreement that more than 80% of home games could be held there due to ongoing renovation work. Additionally, the unavailability of the main stand during renovations made it impossible to guarantee seating for 10,000 spectators throughout the season. Consequently, the club decided not to issue a club license even after the renovation work was completed. Meeting the B grade item of having the roof cover more than one-third of the spectator seats also posed a challenge.

As a result, Shiranami Stadium has been positioned as a “provisional home stadium.” The club aims to build a new stadium with 15,000 seats that meets the J1 license criteria in the future. Despite these challenges, the stadium continues to host matches and contribute to the local sports scene.
