Shenzhen Universiade Sports Centre (Chinese: 深圳大运体育中心), also known as Shenzhen Universiade Centre, Longgang Universiade Sports Centre, or Longgang Stadium, is a multi-use sport facilities complex in Longgang, Shenzhen, Guangdong, China. The sports centre was completed in 2011. It is used mostly for association football and athletics competitions, and hosted some events at the 2011 Summer Universiade.
The stadium has a capacity of 60,334 spectators.[1] The Shenzhen Dayun Arena has a capacity of 18,000 spectators, while the aquatic centre has a capacity of 3,000 spectators.
On 15 September 2018, the NHL played one pre-season game at the stadium between the Calgary Flames and Boston Bruins.[2]
The stadium was initially slated to host the Finals of the 2021 League of Legends World Championship, but due to complications related to COVID-19 pandemic in China, the event entirely was moved to Iceland.[3][4]
