All competition will take place at Shanghai Stadium, which opened in 1997, covers 190,000 square meters and has a floor area of 170,000 square meters.
The venue has top-of-the-line technology to keep the competition area pristine, to provide a terrific spectator experience, to share that experience with the world via satellite and to make sure it all happens with the safety and security of all involved in mind.
The stadium received a complete makeover between 2020 and 2022 and now can fit 72,000 spectators. Ironically, the permanent running track was removed during this process to make the venue soccer-specific.
Shanghai Stadium is familiar with top-tier events, including the qualifying rounds of soccer for the 2008 Olympics, the Special Olympics and multiple editions of the Shanghai Golden Grand Prix and Golden League Shanghai.
