The Guangzhou Evergrande Football Stadium is a football stadium under construction in Guangzhou, China as the future home venue of Chinese professional club Guangzhou F.C. The construction of the 12 billion yuan (US$1.7 billion) stadium began on 16 April 2020.[1] The design of the lotus-shaped stadium was that of Shanghai-based American architect Hasan Syed.[2] The stadium has a seating capacity for 100,000 people and a planned opening set in December 2022.[1][3]

In September 2021, the Evergrande Group said that the construction of the stadium would still proceed despite the company's liquidity crisis.[4] In November 2021, the stadium was seized by the Chinese government with plans to sell the incomplete stadium to another company or transfer ownership to the state-owned Guangzhou City Construction Investment Group. At that time construction of the stadium was reportedly halted for at least three months already, contradicting Evergrande's earlier statement.[5]
