About Tianhe Stadium#

Tianhe Stadium is a multi-purpose stadium in the Tianhe District of Guangzhou, Guangdong, China, known as a major city sports venue. It forms the centerpiece of the Tianhe Sports Center.

The facility is primarily configured for football and athletics and is used for club matches, regional competitions, and large public events. Seating is arranged in a bowl around the pitch and running track to accommodate large crowds.

The stadium was built in the late 20th century and has undergone upgrades to host professional matches and athletic meets. Over time it has served as a home venue for local professional football teams and as a site for city-level sporting events.

Located in the Tianhe commercial and residential district of Guangzhou, the stadium sits within an urban sports complex that is easily reached from central Guangzhou by metro and road links.

  • Sports complex: Part of the larger Tianhe Sports Center complex, which also contains an indoor arena and training facilities.
