The Workers' Stadium (Chinese: 工人体育场; pinyin: Gongren Tiyuchang), is a football stadium in Chaoyang, Beijing, China. It opened in 2023 on the site of the original stadium, which was demolished in 2020. One of the largest football stadiums in China, the stadium is the home of Beijing Guoan, a club that plays in the Chinese Super League.

History

On 4 January 2020, Workers' Stadium was announced as a host venue for the 2023 AFC Asian Cup.[3]

After finishing the 2019 season, Beijing Guoan moved its home stadium the Beijing Fengtai Stadium for three years while renovations ahead of the tournament took place.[4] The engineering firm of the rebuild project is Beijing Construction Engineering Group.

However, on 14 May 2022, AFC announced that China would not be able to host the tournament due to the exceptional circumstances caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.[5]

On 31 December 2022, the new Workers' Stadium hosted its first event, as the New Year's Eve party called "Embrace a New Journey - 2023 BRTV New Year's Eve" took place in the stadium and was broadcast on Beijing Satellite TV.

The renovated Workers’ Stadium opened officially on 15 April 2023,[6][7][8] which included the opening ceremony of the 2023 Chinese Super League, prior to the opening match of its season between Beijing Guoan and Meizhou Hakka.[9] Meizhou Hakka midfielder Ye Chugui scored the first ever goal in the stadium.

On 15 June 2023, the stadium hosted its first international friendly match when Argentina beat Australia 2–0, with Lionel Messi scoring his fastest ever international career goal in just 79 seconds.[10]

Location

The stadium is located in Beijing's Chaoyang district. It occupies the block bounded by Gongrentiyuchang North, East, South, and West Road. It is across the street from the Workers' Indoor Arena and is near the Sanlitun business area.

Transportation

The stadium is accessible by the Beijing subway, with Workers' Stadium station serving the location on Line 17 and Line 3. The Line 17 platform opened on 30 December 2023 and the Line 3 platform opened on 15 December 2024.[11][12] The subway lines help tie the stadium to the eastern and northern neighborhoods of Beijing.
