Yanggakdo Stadium is a multi-purpose stadium located on Yanggak Island in Pyongyang, North Korea, that was used mainly for football matches. The stadium holds 30,000 people and was opened on 18 May 1989.[2][3] Since 2017, the stadium has been out of use as construction is taking place inside.[4]
As seen through satellite imagery, the stadium began undergoing renovations in 2017, when the running track and the pitch have been taken down, individual seats disassembled. In 2018, the floodlights were dismantled. The works in the stadium were confirmed by the state media in 2019.[4]
