Hong Kong Stadium (Chinese: 香港大球場; Cantonese IPA: [hœŋ55 kɔŋ35 tɑɪ22 kʰɐʊ11 tsʰœŋ11], Jyutping: hoeng1 gong2 daai6 kau4 coeng4, ; Mandarin Pinyin: Xiānggǎng Dàqiúcháng; alternatively, 香港政府大球場; informally, 大球場) is the main sports venue of Hong Kong with a maximum seating capacity of 40,000, including 18,240 at the main level, 3,153 executive seats, 18,559 upper level seats and 48 seats for wheelchair users.
It is located in So Kon Po (掃桿埔), a valley near Causeway Bay. Most international football matches held in Hong Kong are held at this stadium. It is also the location for the Hong Kong Sevens rugby sevens tournament.
It is home to two football clubs:
- South China Athletic FC
- Happy Valley Athletic FC
Hong Kong Stadium also hosted the IRB Rugby World Cup Sevens twice, in 1997 and 2005.
Other use
The stadium is sometimes used as music concert venue and other events due to the capacity versus Hong Kong Coliseum. However, its open-air nature has led to noise complaints from residents in tower blocks surrounding the stadium.
