According to a piece by Kyodo reported on the Baseball Federation of Asia (BFA) website, Yokohama Stadium has become a top candidate to host baseball during the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.
Baseball and softball, which have not been played at the Olympics since 2008, are among the sports that 2020 organisers have nominated for the Tokyo Games in addition to the core Olympic program.
The other sports are surfing, skate boarding, sport climbing and karate. The International Olympic Committee (IOC) will announce 2020’s additional sports this August, prior to the Rio de Janiero Games.
Tokyo Games organisers also looked into the Tokyo Dome and Chiba city’s QVC Marine Field as potential venues. However, Tokyo Dome’s candidacy suffers from the lack of nearby space needed for security and media. Chiba is already set to host three competitions, including wrestling, and it said that Kanagawa Prefecture is favoured by some for baseball out of a desire to achieve balance.
Organising Committee President Yoshiro Mori has previously indicated his stance to have some events hosted in Fukushima Prefecture in the heart of the area affected by the March 11, 2011, earthquake and tsunami.
The Yokohama Arena will host this September’s Stadia & Arena Asia Pacific 2016 event, which will include tours of many of the city’s sports venues, including Yokohama Stadium. To guarantee your place at this must-attend conference and exhibition, visit the website at: www.saevents.uk.com

Among the recommendations adopted in the Olympic Agenda 2020 is the important theme of sustainability.

Moreover we have incorporated several Japanese values into our plans including the concept of Mottainai, or the sense of avoiding waste.
Tokyo 2020 is embracing the entire concept of “sustainability” in its preparations, which covers not only environmental matters, but also the consideration of human rights, working conditions and management of supply chains.
The High-level Sustainability Plan (download here, PDF: 700 Ko) is the framework outlining the basic approach to be adopted to ensure sustainability in Games preparations and operations. Tokyo 2020 aims to finalise its sustainability plan by the end of 2016, and to obtain the ISO 20121 international standard for event sustainability management.
The Fundamental Principles for the Sustainable Sourcing Code (download here, PDF: 500 Ko) will ensure the sustainable sourcing of products and services deemed vital to the successful delivery of the Tokyo 2020 Games with full consideration given to of economic rationality, fairness and equity.
These two documents provide a basis for considering sustainability from the planning stage, but leaves scope for further development through the collection of ideas, opinions and information from various delivery partners, such as the Tokyo Metropolitan Government, the national government, private entities, and NGOs/NPOs. The Organising Committee is also inviting suggestions from people throughout Japan and across the wider world to further ensure the delivery of sustainable Games. Ideas, suggestions, etc. can be proposed through the Tokyo 2020 official website until Friday, 12 February.
