It was formerly known as Nagoya City Mizuho Park Athletics Stadium (Japanese: 名古屋市瑞穂公園陸上競技場, romanized: Nagoyashi Mizuho Kōen Rikujō Kyōgijō). Since April 2015, it has been called Paloma Mizuho Stadium in accordance with naming rights. The new stadium will be rebuilt to be used for athletics and ceremonies for the 2026 Asian Games.
It was planned to be used as an Olympic venue in Nagoya’s bid plans for the 1988 Summer Olympics, but Nagoya lost the bid to Seoul, South Korea.
