昆明拓东体育场

Tuodong Stadium at 99 Dongfeng East Road in Panlong District sits at 1,891 metres above sea level and opened in 1958, initially with only an indoor multi-purpose hall on the site. A football practice pitch followed in 1972 and a two-year rebuild completed in 1990 produced the four-tier stands that made the ground one of the China national team's regular homes. Thin air and a quick ball have always troubled visitors, and the record includes a 5-1 win over Indonesia in 2001, a 0-0 draw with Australia in 2008 and a 7-2 win over Laos in 2011; in 1996 Bayi lost 1-5 here to Benfica. The stadium has also carried the city's concert memory, with Jacky Cheung, A-Mei, Jay Chou, Eason Chan and Mayday all performing on the pitch. After 2018 it stopped hosting major events as the fabric aged. Work began in May 2025 with an investment of about 250 million yuan and passed completion inspection on 7 May 2026, turning the ground into a Grade A complex seating more than 40,000 and meeting standards for international single-sport and national multi-sport events. The landmark dome was kept, 250,000 colour-changing LED points were added, international-standard turf and a new track were laid, escape routes were increased to 26 so that 40,000 people can leave within eight minutes, and seven VIP boxes, a reception hall and a media room were fitted. The stadium hosted the Yunnan city league final in July 2026 and its first post-renovation concert on 1 October 2026.
