New Lusaka Stadium, Sports stadium in Lusaka, Zambia

New Lusaka Stadium is a modern sports facility in Lusaka with seating for around 70,000 spectators. The complex includes training pitches and administrative spaces, making it a complete venue for national and international sporting competitions.

New Lusaka Stadium was a planned 70,000-seat venue intended to replace Independence Stadium and host events for the 2011 All-Africa Games, alongside proposed new stadiums in Ndola and Livingstone. In December 2008 Zambia withdrew its hosting duties, citing a lack of funds. A February 2011 memorandum between the Chinese and Zambian governments later financed a 50,009-seat design by Tongji University, built by Shanghai Construction Group, but the stadium was never completed.

The planned stadium's design drew on the bougainvillea, Zambia's national flower, with a saddle-shaped steel roof of coloured membrane over four stands. The Chinese-funded project, designed by Tongji University and built by Shanghai Construction Group, was to stand near Great North Road in Lusaka's northwest outskirts.

The site lies in Lusaka's northwestern outskirts, next to Great North Road. The Chinese plan placed the pitch and 400 m running track inside four stands, with the east and west stands double-tiered and the north and south single-tiered. Construction was still at the steel-structure and equipment-installation stage when work stopped.

The design drew on Zambia's national flower, the bougainvillea, with a saddle-shaped steel roof of coloured membrane over the stands. The Chinese source gives a fixed capacity of 50,009 seats and a floor area of 47,855 m², differing from the 70,000 figure in the English article. Ground was broken in January 2011 by Vice-Premier Hui Liangyu.
