On April 4, Guangzhou Evergrande Football Stadium officially started, Guangzhou Mayor Wen Guohui, Vice Mayor Lin Daoping, Chairman of the Board of Evergrande Group Xu Jiayin, President Xia Haijun, as well as Guangzhou Evergrande Club coaches and players attended the groundbreaking ceremony.

In order to ensure that the stadium will amaze the world as soon as it debuts, Evergrande has made a lot of preliminary preparations before participating in the bidding. In August 2016, when Guangzhou officially announced the planning and construction of a professional football stadium near the South Railway Station, Evergrande invited 8 top masters from the United States, Germany, the United Kingdom, Australia and other countries to design dozens of plans, and finally the top American master Hasan.A.Syed won the plan.

Guangzhou Evergrande Football Stadium is adjacent to Guangzhou South railway station, with a total investment of 12 billion yuan, an area of about 150000 square meters, a total construction area of about 300000 square meters, and a capacity of up to 100000 people. It will be built according to the highest level in the world, and become the world’s largest, highest grade, most complete, most scientific and technological, and most Seating capacity international top professional football stadium. It is planned to be completed and put into use by the end of 2022.

Different from the oval shape commonly adopted by top foreign stadiums, Guangzhou Evergrande Football Stadium is designed with lotus blooming as the design concept, highlighting the strong Chinese cultural characteristics, which not only represents the stadium becoming the “city of flowers” Guangzhou’s permanent blooming city card, but also means that Chinese football has a clean and tenacious character and competes in the international arena. The main color is a hot golden red, which is not only the uniform color of the Chinese Super League hegemony Guangzhou team, but also the representative color of Guangzhou, the “first city of football”.

On the basis of having FIFA standard professional football stadiums, Guangzhou Evergrande Football Stadium has 16 VVIP private rooms, 152 VIP private rooms, FIFA area, athlete area, media area, press conference hall and other top-level supporting facilities, providing full guarantee for hosting various high-level and high-frequency events. In addition, it has planned 8 categories in 122 major formats, including children’s world, international cuisine, culture and entertainment, and sports, and will introduce more than 380 well-known domestic and foreign brands to create a sports and cultural complex with the highest grade, the most complete category and the most popularity.

According to statistics, currently only seven professional football stadiums have been built in China, and the largest stadium can accommodate only 40000 people, which is a significant gap compared to world football powers and difficult to meet the requirements of hosting top international football matches. It is revealed that Evergrande will also build 3-5 super large professional football fields nationwide that can accommodate 8-100000 people. Football field facilities are a basic project for the revitalization of Chinese football. Evergrande will vigorously layout the world’s top professional football fields, which will further improve the level of China’s football infrastructure construction, make positive contributions to China’s football becoming a world-class power as soon as possible, and realize the dream of a sports power, and look forward to the early completion of Guangzhou Evergrande Football Stadium!
