The top American master Hasan.A.Syed won.

The main color is a hot golden red, which is not only the color of the uniform of the Chinese Super League Guangzhou team, but also the representative color of Guangzhou, the "first city of football".

Based on the FIFA standard professional football stadium, Guangzhou Evergrande Football Stadium has 16 VVIP private rooms, 152 VIP private rooms, FIFA area, athletes area, media area, press release hall and other top-level facilities for hosting various types High-level, high-frequency events provide adequate protection. In addition, 122 categories of 8 major formats including children's world, international cuisine, cultural entertainment, and sports are planned. More than 380 well-known domestic and foreign brands will be introduced to create a sports and cultural complex with the highest grade, the most complete category, and the most popular. .

According to statistics, there are currently only seven professional football fields built in China, and the largest stadium can accommodate only 40,000 people.
