Haixia Olympic Center Stadium, Multi-purpose sports stadium in Cangshan District, Fuzhou, China.
Haixia Olympic Center Stadium is a multi-purpose sports facility in Fuzhou designed for athletics and football competitions. The venue features a steel roof structure that covers the main sporting grounds within its complex layout.
Planning for the center was announced on 12 October 2010, when Fuzhou's urban planning bureau, sports bureau and land development center opened a public consultation on the architectural design. Construction began with a groundbreaking ceremony on 23 December 2010. The indoor arena was completed and pre-accepted in October 2014, and the center opened in 2015, hosting the first National Youth Games of the People's Republic of China from 18 to 27 October 2015. The project won the 2014–2015 China Construction Engineering Luban Prize.
The center hosts the China Open badminton championships, held here from 2014 to 2017 and again as the Fuzhou China Open from 2018 to 2021. It was also the start and finish point of the Fuzhou International Marathon on 25 December 2016 and 24 December 2017, and the home ground of the Fujian Tianxin football club in 2018.
The complex sits on Nantai Island in Cangshan District, bounded by Fengshan Road to the south, Jianxin South Road to the north and Fuwan Road to the east. Metro Line 5 stops at Xiajing and Dongling stations, and bus routes 11, 148, 156, 329 and 330 serve the Strait Olympic Center bus terminal. The stadium, athletics and football training grounds lie in the southern zone; the arena, aquatics center and tennis hall stand north of it.
The complex won the 2014–2015 China Construction Engineering Luban Prize, awarded for the quality of its construction. Its indoor arena, 39.7 metres tall with 12,980 seats, opened in October 2014 and hosted the Fuzhou China Open badminton championships from 2014 to 2017 and again from 2018 to 2021.
