Zhuhai Sports Center, Sports complex in Zhuhai, China
Zhuhai Sports Center is a 700,000-square-metre sports complex in Xiangzhou, Zhuhai, built in 1998 at a cost of 800 million yuan. Its main stadium seats 35,000 under a tall pale roof carried by angled white legs, with a red banner reading "珠海市建市四十周年" above blue and yellow seating. Beside it stands a round arena with a ribbed off-white roof rising into a small central tower, its glass-walled base framed by curved white arches and a blue band near the ground.
The Zhuhai Sports Center opened in 1998 at a cost of 800 million yuan, and in October of that year it hosted the 10th Guangdong Provincial Games. On 6 June 2019 its stadium staged Macau's 2022 World Cup qualifier against Sri Lanka because Macau's own ground was under repair. In August 2025 the Xiangzhou district government announced the land had been reclaimed for renovation.
The 1999 film Shaolin Soccer shot its football match scenes at the stadium. The center's grounds also hold a sports park and tennis center, and the 1998 Guangdong Provincial Games, the province's tenth, were held here.
The complex sits in Xiangzhou District, west of Xinxiangzhou and north of Hongshan Road. City buses 18 and 35 stop at Hongshan Road South, and routes serve the Sports Center South terminus.
