  • This week, FIFA World Champions Argentina are playing Australia in Beijing. Before that match took place, I got to go inside the brand new Beijing Workers' Stadium and explore!
    This is possibly one of the best, newly built football stadiums in the world, and it only took 2 YEARS!
    2 YEARS! Unbelievable. It's a stunning ground, and it's a vast improvement on the old stadium in terms of allowing spectators to get closer to the action.
    ALSO, I had the amazing opportunity to leave Lionel Messi a message!
    Let me know what you think about this stadium in the comments section below. I love it. Hopefully, it'll be full most home games. 68,000 is certainly a large capacity; much bigger than many Premier League sides.
    Thanks for watching, stay safe and remember to look after one another.

    Great to hear it will be connected to the subway! Politicians need to understand that adding more lanes to a highway will NOT solve traffic but will simply make it worse. So building transit is the solution! The design of the new Workers' Stadium reminds me a lot of Moscow's Luzhniki Stadium or formerly known as the Central Lenin Stadium. It was the main venue of the 1980 Summer Olympics and just like the old Workers' Stadium, it was once all open with no roof. After the USSR was dissolved, it was privatized, and it got a renovation. But instead of demolishing the whole thing, they opted to keep the design and add a giant roof and decreased the capacity.
    We have a pretty impressive stadium ourselves called the Rungrado 1st of May Stadium. It's famous for being the venue where our iconic Arirang Mass Games take place, which has the Guinness World Record for the largest gymnastic display! It opened back in 1989 and between then and 2020, it was the largest stadium in the world with a capacity of 114,000!

    Definitely looks like a stadium you'd picture in Europe! So state of the art! Kudos to China for finally doing a big transformation to that place! The old Workers' Stadium played host to some 2008 Summer Olympics events too as it hosted the football quarterfinals and semi-finals, and the women's gold medal final. It was also gonna host the first ever NFL (American football) game in China called the China Bowl in August 2007 to kick off the one-year countdown to the Olympics, but the NFL decided to focus on the International Series which initially took place at Wembley Stadium instead (and have since expanded to include Mexico and Germany) and so they canceled the China Bowl in April of that year.
    The old Workers' Stadium was also included as the main venue of the 2008 Summer Olympics in their bid back in 2001, but of course, they opted to build the majestic National Stadium/Bird's Nest instead for the main venue and I'm glad they did because she is a beaut! The Bird's Nest remains my favorite stadium because it's just so unique. Despite the name Bird's Nest, for those who don't know it's a combination of the crackle glazed pottery that is local to Beijing, and the heavily veined Chinese scholar stones. This inspiration shows just how passionate the Chinese are with their history and culture. And while not being a bird's nest, Li Xinggang said it's still a compliment as eating bird's nest is something for special occasions.

      Apparently you can walk along the top of the Bird's Nest. I've never done it but I'd love to try. However, watching football at the Bird's Nest is also not great, same problem as the old Workers' Stadium. Fans are too far away from the match. This new Workers' Stadium is so perfect for football! Very big though, I hope they can fill it for most home matches.

      This is pretty steep! Not as steep as the Ajax stadium in the Netherlands... That's the steepest I've ever been to. But you're right, if you have trouble with heights, probably best to sit in the lower level.

    I watched a few matches at the Gong Ti in 2009 when they won it, and 2010.
    After that I moved out of Beijing but the matches were always live on BTV.
    Since I've been married I spend more time here in Changchun so I can't follow it so closely.
    Great to see the new stadium. Hopefully they'll have a decent team to play in it.

    The overall construction slowed down a bit due to the pandemic, it is therefore the main stadium completed while commercials attached are needed to catch up. This definitely is the home for all Guoan funs.
