About

The Shenyang Olympic Sports Centre Stadium (simplified, traditional, pinyin: Shěnyáng Àolínpǐkè Tǐyù Zhōngxīn) is a 60,000-seat multi-purpose stadium in Shenyang, Liaoning, China. It is part of the Shenyang Olympic Sports Centre. Nicknamed "Crystal Crown", the stadium was built by AXS Satow as a replacement for Wulihe Stadium. It hosted football matches at the 2008 Summer Olympics. It was the home ground of the Shenyang Dongjin, a club that folded in 2018. In 2013 the stadium was the principal venue of the 2013 National Games of China with the opening and closing ceremonies as well as the main athletic events. The complex includes a 10,000-seat gymnasium, a 4,000-seat natatorium, and a 4,000-seat tennis field.
