The Jinjiang Football Training Center (Chinese: 晋江市足球训练中心), is a professional football stadium located in Jinjiang, Quanzhou, Fujian Province, China. Opened in October 2019, it was the first professional football stadium in Fujian Province and the sixth in China.[4] The stadium has a capacity of 8,000 spectators and serves as the home venue for Quanzhou Yassin F.C., which competes in China League Two.[5]

Construction and facilities

The stadium occupies a total area of approximately 87,000 square meters with a total investment of 260 million RMB.[6] Construction began in July 2018 and was completed in 14 months.[7] The facility includes an 11-a-side natural grass competition field, an 11-a-side artificial turf training field, and a 7-a-side artificial turf training field.[8] The venue features 8,000 spectator seats without a running track, providing a close viewing experience typical of professional football stadiums.[9]

Additional facilities include a 1.2-kilometer fitness trail, a 1,500-square-meter youth leisure activity area, a 1,500-square-meter public fitness area, and 500 parking spaces.[10] The stadium design incorporates local architectural elements, with spectator stands positioned close to the pitch to enhance atmosphere.[11]

Major events

The stadium served as the primary venue for the 2019 FISU University World Cup Football, hosting the opening and closing ceremonies as well as multiple matches.[12] In October 2023, it again hosted the opening ceremony, finals, and closing ceremony of the 2023 FISU University World Cup Football.[13] The 2023 tournament featured 20 university teams from 16 countries and regions, with 46 matches held across six venues in Jinjiang.[14]

Chinese professional leagues

In October 2022, the Chinese Football Association designated Jinjiang as a neutral venue for the Chinese Super League, with the stadium hosting matches for Shanghai Shenhua F.C. and Shanghai Port F.C.[15] The stadium has been the home ground for Quanzhou Yassin F.C. (formerly Fujian Tianxin) in China League Two since 2019.[16]

Operations and management

The stadium is operated by Jinjiang Fresh Sports Development Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Jinjiang Cultural Tourism Group.[17] The municipal government has invested over 4 billion RMB in sports infrastructure, including more than 30 venues such as the Jinjiang Football Training Center, to support the city's development as a "sports city".[18]
