Beijing Workers' Stadium

　　Beijing Workers' Stadium is situated on Gongren Tiyuchang Beilu in the Chaoyang District of Beijing, near the Workers' Gymnasium and the old and new embassy zones. Constructed on August 31, 1959, with investment from the All-China Federation of Trade Unions, it is one of Beijing’s largest comprehensive stadiums, covering an area of 35 hectares with a built-up area of over 80,000 square meters. The complex consists of three architectural groups: Beijing Workers' Stadium, Workers' Gymnasium, and the swimming pool venue. Its main stadium can accommodate 80,000 spectators. The Workers' Stadium was one of Beijing's famous Ten Great Buildings during the 10th anniversary celebration of the founding of New China.

　　The Olympic renovation project of Beijing Workers' Stadium has been completed. This "national-level stadium," originally built in 1959, was once one of Beijing’s “Ten Great Buildings” and enjoyed immense fame across the city. Over the past half-century, this "veteran" venue, which has hosted countless sporting events and major public gatherings—from the First National Games and four other editions of the National Games, to the opening and closing ceremonies and competitions of the 11th Asian Games, the 21st World University Games, and the 9th Asian Cup Football Tournament—has witnessed the development of sports in China since the establishment of the People’s Republic.
