Shaanxi Province Stadium, Sports stadium in Xi'an, China
Shaanxi Province Stadium is a large sports venue in Xi'an with a concrete oval structure and eight grandstand sections that accommodate around 42,000 spectators. The facility includes an international exhibition center, ample parking areas, office spaces, and multipurpose fitness zones alongside the main field.
Built in December 1952 as the Northwest People's Stadium, it was renamed Shaanxi People's Stadium in 1971. For the Fourth National City Games the provincial government funded a 250 million yuan rebuild, completed in 1999. Renovation for the 14th National Games began in 2019 and finished in July 2020.
The stadium is nicknamed "Holy Zhuque" (Sheng Zhuque) by local fans, after Zhuque Square beside it. In May 2012 the Chinese Football Association named it one of seven fixed home grounds for the "Team China" squads, covering the men's, Olympic, youth and women's national teams. It has hosted major athletics and football events, including the women's football tournament of the 14th National Games in 2021.
The stadium stands at 14 Chang'an North Road in Beilin District, next to Zhuque Square, and is reached by public transport or by car, with parking and office space on site. The stands are divided into eight sections, A to H, so check your ticket for the letter before entering. Arrive early on match days to find your section and settle in.
Four 49-meter-tall lighting towers were installed at the four corners in 1983, making it possible to host events in the evening with specialized illumination. These towers represent early adoption of advanced technology for sports facilities in the region.
