The new Xi’an International Football Centre will be a 60,000-seat stadium for
national and international matches as well as domestic league games, youth
training academies, entertainment performances and cultural events. The
centre will be located in Xi’an's Fengdong New District with its stations on the city’s expanding metro network.

With a population of nine million people and two professional football clubs,
Xi’an will be a host city of the 2023 Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Asian Cup in China. Taking its legacy mode of operations as the starting point of the design, the stadium has been designed to provide optimum conditions for football and maximize its use by generations after the 2023 tournament.
