History and description

Beijing Workers Stadium, which was built in 1959 to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the People's Republic of China and to serve as China's new national stadium, hosted the country's National Games in 2015. In 1986, extensive renovations were conducted on the stadium over a three-year period. This led to it hosting the 1990 Asian Games.

In 1995, Workers Stadium in Beijing became the home of Beijing Guoan FC. The club temporarily moved away to Fentai Stadium in 2005, but returned again in 2009.

The Beijing Workers Stadium hosted a number of games during the 2008 Olympic football tournament. The stadium had been refurbished before the tournament, and it played a significant role in both the men's and women's tournaments.
