The Guangdong Provincial People's Stadium (Chinese: 广东省人民体育场) is a multi-purpose stadium in Guangzhou, China. It is currently used mostly for football matches. The stadium holds 15,000 people. The stadium is best reached by taking Guangzhou Metro Line 1 to Martyrs' Park Station.[1]
History
Formerly known as the dongjiaochang (English: "Eastern Parade Ground"), the site was first used as a sporting venue in 1906 when it hosted Guangdong's (and China's) first provincial-level athletics competition. Sun Yat-sen ordered the construction of a stadium on the site in 1922; however, it wasn't finished until 1932.[2]
It was used as a Japanese transport and supplies depot during the occupation of Guangzhou and was bombed when Guangzhou was liberated.
The construction of Yuexiushan meant that the People's Stadium didn't hold many high-profile sporting or civic events from the mid-1950s onwards;[3] however, it did host many games in the Guangdong-Hong Kong Cup as well as games in the inaugural Women's World Cup.[2]
Recent use
For the 2017 Chinese Super League Season, Guangzhou R&F F.C. used the stadium as their temporary home for their first two matches whilst Yuexiushan was being refurbished.[4]
