Dalian Suoyuwan Football Stadium

Construction began in October 2020 and the venue opened in 2023, specifically hosting its first major matches in May 2023, including Chinese Super League fixtures. The stadium was originally built as a venue for the 2023 AFC Asian Cup, which China was awarded to host before withdrawing due to the pandemic; it meets FIFA and AFC standards for high-level tournaments. The design was a collaboration between Building Design Partnership (BDP), Buro Happold (structural and building services engineering), Harbin Institute of Technology Architectural Design & Research, and Dalian Architectural Research & Design Institute. The general contractor was China Construction Eighth Engineering Division (CSCEC 8th Bureau). The playing surface is natural grass using a hybrid system with implanted synthetic fibers, certified by FIFA, supplemented by electric heat pumps and grow lights for winter maintenance. The capacity is reported as 63,677 seats (cited by Wikipedia and Sofascore) or 63,000 (cited by architects, Buro Happold, and StadiumDB). The stadium has no former names other than the addition of the Zhongsheng sponsor name. It serves as the home ground for Dalian Yingbo F.C. (formerly Dalian Yingbo, previously Dalian Professional F.C.). The attendance record is 62,339 spectators, set on May 1, 2026, during a Chinese Super League match between Dalian Yingbo and Chongqing Tonglianglong. Previous high attendances included 61,185 against Beijing Guoan on May 5, 2025, and 61,135 against Shanghai Shenhua on May 17, 2025. Notable events include a retirement ceremony for Chinese national team captain Zheng Zhi on June 16, 2023, before the Myanmar match, and the hosting of concerts and public festivals such as the "Fairy Tale Sea · Encounter Love" event. The stadium does not have a dedicated official website; information is managed through tenant clubs and local government channels.
