Yanzigang Stadium, Sports stadium in Haizhu District, China
Yanzigang Stadium is a sports facility in Haizhu District featuring a 400-meter running track and a central football field. Permanent seating areas line the structure to accommodate spectators during events.
Yanzigang Stadium opened in September 1985 on the site of the Yanzigang cemetery, which had been in use since 1964 and was requisitioned in 1983 for conversion into sports facilities. It was built as a football training ground for the 1987 National Games of China and later served the 1991 FIFA Women's World Cup, the 2001 National Games and the 2010 Asian Games. From 2017 to 2019 it hosted Guangzhou Evergrande Reserves, and from the 2017-18 season it became the first venue to stage Hong Kong Premier League home games for R&F.
The venue hosts athletic competitions and football matches that draw crowds from across the district. Local residents view it as a gathering place for community sporting events.
The stadium sits on Jiangyan Road in Fengyang Subdistrict, Haizhu District, with the Guangzhou Football School and youth training base attached to the complex. The grounds hold separate natural-grass and artificial pitches plus a 400 m track, so training and matches can run at the same time. A 2024–2025 renovation replaced the running track and upgraded irrigation, lighting and function rooms.
Athletes train year-round on the outdoor track, regardless of the subtropical weather conditions in Guangzhou. This constant use makes it a hub of continuous sporting activity.
