Qingdao West Coast University City Stadium
Qingdao, China
Formerly: Guzhenkou University City Sports Center, Qingdao West Coast University City Sports Center
Finished in 2023, the stadium carries the double identity of a facility built by district planners rather than a club: Wikipedia and StadiumDB both list it as Guzhenkou University City Sports Center, its formal name tied to the surrounding development, while football reporting has settled on Qingdao West Coast University City Stadium, the name that follows the tenant rather than the postcode.
That tenant is Qingdao West Coast FC. For a spell it also covered for Qingdao Hainiu.
At 20,000 seats it sits in the mid-tier bracket of Chinese club grounds, big enough for a Super League fixture without aspiring to the scale of the World Cup-ready stadiums built elsewhere in the country. The pitch is natural grass, maintained as a cold-season lawn, a detail Chinese sports press has noted given how much turf in newly built Chinese venues still leans on synthetic blends.
No street address circulates beyond the district name, and no dedicated club or venue website exists to fill the gap — for a stadium this young, serving a district still being built out, the paperwork has simply not caught up with the concrete.
