On August 15, Liu Jinzhang, Secretary of the Party Branch, Vice President and Secretary General of China Construction Industry Association, went to Qingdao Youth Football Stadium project for inspection and guidance. Ren Sihao, Deputy Secretary of the Party Committee and General Manager of China Construction Eighth Engineering Bureau, Yu Ke, Chief Engineer, Huang Yunchang, Quality Director, and relevant team members of Qingdao Company and Installation Company Yexing Group accompanied him. Liu Jinzhang and his team came to the project site, watched the project report video, and inspected the anchor grass system, prefabricated stands, cable-supported grid roof, ETFE membrane structure roof, etc., and invited Wang Weiqiang, Chairman of Yexing Group, to give a comprehensive introduction to the cable-supported ETFE roof.

This football stadium in Chengyang District, Qingdao, with its magnificent scale of 194,100 square meters, has become the first professional football stadium with 50,000 seats in Shandong Province. It is not only the home of Qingdao Hainiu Football Club, but also a meeting point of sports and culture.

The roof design of this football stadium adopts a 20,000 square meter single-layer ETFE membrane structure. This structure not only builds a stable system by tensioning the reinforcement cables of the membrane surface, but also the ETFE membrane itself is favored for its excellent light transmission performance and multiple advantages. The light transmission performance of the ETFE membrane is very good, which means that it can allow natural light to fully enter the interior of the stadium, providing a more comfortable viewing experience for the audience. In addition, the anti-fouling and corrosion resistance of ETFE also ensure the convenience of long-term cleaning and maintenance of the material. High durability means that this material can maintain its performance in long-term use and reduce maintenance costs.

Qingdao Youth Football Stadium is the world’s first stadium that combines cable-supported grid structure + ETFE membrane structure. The complex and delicate structural system is extremely beautiful in mechanics. As the professional membrane structure contractor of this project, Yexing is responsible for the in-depth design and construction and installation of the ETFE membrane structure of the main stadium.

The Qingdao Youth Football Stadium project has won wide recognition and many honors for its advanced green construction technology. The project adopted 36 green construction energy-saving technologies and 15 green construction innovation technologies. The application of these technologies not only improved the efficiency and quality of construction, but also reflected the importance of environmental protection. Because of these innovations and practices, Qingdao Youth Football Stadium won 94 honors including the Gold Award for Steel Structure, the Taishan Cup of Shandong Province, and the Excellent Engineering Survey and Design Award of Sichuan Province.

In addition, the outstanding performance of Qingdao Youth Football Stadium after operation has also been highly praised by the society. Since it was put into use, the football stadium has hosted 28 domestic and international games, some of which have attracted more than 42,000 spectators. According to the latest data, the average number of spectators at Qingdao Youth Football Stadium has exceeded 20,000, making it one of the important venues with the largest number of spectators in the Chinese Super League. These achievements not only demonstrate the attractiveness of the football stadium, but also reflect its outstanding performance in event organization and audience experience.
