Egao Kenko Stadium (えがお健康スタジアム) is a multi-purpose stadium in Higashi-ku, Kumamoto, Japan. It is currently used mostly for association football matches – it is home to J2 League club Roasso Kumamoto – and sometimes for Top League rugby games. The stadium holds 30,228 people.

With Rosso's promotion from the Japan Football League to the J. League Division 2 in 2007, KKWing is expected to play a role in Rosso's ascendancy.

The stadium was used for the 2019 Rugby World Cup, the first Rugby World Cup to be held in Asia.[1]

From 1 February 2017, the stadium adopted a new name as Egao Kenko Stadium (えがお健康スタジアム) (Egao Sta (えがおスタ) in abbreviation) due to naming rights contract.
