Shuangliu Sports Centre

The Shuangliu Sports Centre has kept the same title since it opened in 2008. The ground sits on a patch of land that has seen the days of the old Chengdu Wuniu side. It is a place that has watched the city grow around it without changing its own face.

The surface remains natural grass, a choice that has held through the years and through the heavy renovations required for the 2023 FISU World University Games. Those upgrades brought in new track facilities and improved the badminton hall, yet the core identity of a simple football pitch remains. The capacity of 26,000 is modest compared to the modern arenas being built for international tournaments, but it fits the rhythm of the local game.

The stadium has hosted everything from futsal championships to concerts by Mayday, but its true function is defined by the teams that have played here. It was the home for the U-22 clash between China and South Korea in November 2025, a match that drew just over ten thousand fans. That number tells you more about the venue than any record of a sold-out final. It is a place where the air feels different on winter evenings, the wind cutting across the stands from the open road. It is not a temple of football; it is a working ground that has served the city for longer than most of its current inhabitants have been alive.
