With Cerezo Osaka's moving the home and the renovation of the stadium in 2010, the naming rights of the stadium were advertised. The rights were knocked down to Dainihon Jochugiku Company, Limited (大日本除虫菊株式会社, Kincho) for 36 million yen a year and stadium was named "Kincho Stadium (キンチョウスタジアム)". The name was used from August 1, 2010 until December 31, 2018. Kincho also became the uniform sponsor for Cerezo Osaka. The Stadium was completely renovated for its reopening in June 2021. In addition, the stadium was named "Yodoko Sakura Stadium (ヨドコウ桜スタジアム)" by Yodogawa Steel Works, Ltd. (株式会社淀川製鋼所), which signed the comprehensive partnership agreement with Cerezo Osaka.
