Saturday 27th March 2021

Wuhan FC have announced plans to move to a new 60,000 seater stadium.

The Chinese Super League club currently play at the 30,000 capacity Dongxihu Sports Center, but have become the latest in a long line of new Chinese superstadiums, as it prepares to host the next Asian Cup.

The new stadium will be build on land to the north of the city, next to the famous Yangtze River. It is hoped to open in 2023 at a cost of around £300m.
