The Guangdong Provincial People's Stadium (Chinese: 广东省人民体育场) is a multi-purpose stadium in Guangzhou, China. It is currently used mostly for football matches. The stadium holds 15,000 people. The stadium is best reached by taking Guangzhou Metro Line 1 to Martyrs' Park Station.

History

Formerly known as the 東較場 (Cantonese: dung1gaau3coeng2; English: "Eastern Parade Ground"), the site was first used as a sporting venue in 1906 when it hosted Guangdong's (and China's) first provincial-level athletics competition. Sun Yat-sen ordered the construction of a stadium on the site in 1922; however, it wasn't finished until 1932.

It was used as a Japanese transport and supplies depot during the occupation of Guangzhou and was bombed when Guangzhou was liberated.

The construction of Yuexiushan meant that the People's Stadium didn't hold many high-profile sporting or civic events from the mid-1950s onwards; however, it did host many games in the Guangdong-Hong Kong Cup as well as games in the inaugural Women's World Cup.
