Shenyang Olympic Sports Center Stadium, Multi-purpose stadium in Hunnan District, Shenyang, China
Shenyang Olympic Sports Center Stadium is a large sports venue in Hunnan District, Shenyang, China, with seating for around 60,000 people. The main arena is part of a wider sports complex that also includes a gymnasium, a swimming pool, and tennis courts.
The stadium opened in 2007 and hosted football matches during the 2008 Olympic Games. In 2013, it was chosen to host the opening and closing ceremonies of the National Games, marking another major moment in its history.
The stadium has served as home ground for local football clubs and continues to draw crowds for major sporting events. For many residents of Shenyang, it is a place closely tied to the city's sporting life.
The stadium sits on Hunnan Middle Road and can be reached by public transport. Opening hours depend on scheduled events, so it is worth checking in advance before planning a visit.
The stadium's nickname, "Crystal Crown" (水晶皇冠), comes from its exterior, built by the Japanese firm AXS Satow. It replaced Wulihe Stadium, the ground demolished in 2007; the new venue carries that name as a secondary title. The complex also holds a 10,000-seat gymnasium, a 4,000-seat natatorium and a 4,000-seat tennis field.
