Design
The Dalian Sports Center Stadium consists of major stadium, arena, tennis pitch, baseball pitch, and swimming stadium. The baseball pitch was re-fitted to football training pitch after the National Games.
In 2020, Dalian Sports Center started its renovation project, in order to meet the requirements for the 2021 FIFA Club World Cup.[6] The stadium would be refitted to professional football pitch with the running track removed, but the project was halted later as China quit hosting the Club World Cup.
