Construction on a colossal, flower-shaped stadium in Guangzhou, China has kicked off. Built for Chinese professional soccer team, Guangzhou Evergrande, the $1.7 billion stadium will host in excess of 100,000 spectators, making it the world’s largest stadium dedicated to soccer upon completion.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This bold stadium will eclipse the size of Barcelona\u2019s Camp Nou stadium, which is currently the largest stadium built specifically for soccer, with a capacity at 99,354. Despite the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the project was commenced shortly after China lifted its social distancing restrictions in order to meet the 2022 completion date. The stadium is set to host events for the 2023 Asian Cup.<\/span><\/p>\n
