Yutong International Sports Center Stadium
Shijiazhuang, China
Formerly: Chang'an Stadium (former site)
The ground on Zhongshan East Road is the second stadium to stand on this plot. Before it there was Chang'an Stadium, put up in the 1950s and rebuilt in 1972; the present arena went into service in August 1996, and work returned to the site again in 2013.
What the ground has mostly done since is change tenants. The army side PLA Bayi played home matches here in 1997 and 1998, not long after the stadium opened. Shijiazhuang Ever Bright used it for the 2015 season. The longest stay belongs to the club that arrived in 2010 and left in 2023, and which changed its own name along the way — Hebei Zhongji, then Shijiazhuang Yongchang, then Hebei FC, and now Cangzhou Mighty Lions, playing elsewhere. Chinese Super League football, China League One football and Chinese FA Cup ties have all been staged on the same pitch, with the division depending on which set of colours happened to be occupying the dressing room that year.
The current occupant is Shijiazhuang Gongfu, of China League One. The playing surface is natural grass, in a bowl in the Chang'an district of the city that holds 38,500.
