Yanggakdo Stadium

Yanggakdo Stadium, Football stadium in Pyongyang, North Korea.

Yanggakdo Stadium is a sports facility on Yanggak Island in the Taedong River that once hosted athletic events and matches. The complex had capacity for up to 30,000 spectators and included areas dedicated to boxing, wrestling, swimming, and multiple training pitches.

Yanggakdo Stadium opened on 18 May 1989 with a capacity of 30,000. Satellite imagery showed renovations beginning in 2017, when the running track and pitch were taken down and individual seats disassembled; floodlights were dismantled in 2018. State media confirmed the works in 2019, and the main pitch was removed sometime between 2018 and 2020.

The complex also held indoor training areas for bodybuilding, weightlifting, table tennis, boxing, wrestling, judo and swimming, plus rooms for referees, commentators and medical staff. Eight tennis courts stood beside the main pitch until they were demolished in 2017.

The stadium stands on Yanggak Island in the Taedong River, reached by road bridges from central Pyongyang. Satellite imagery since 2017 shows the running track and pitch removed, seats disassembled and floodlights dismantled, with roofs partly collapsed; the site is not a functioning venue, so viewing is limited to the exterior.
