National Olympic Sports Centre

The National Olympic Sports Centre or Olympic Sports Center Stadium  is a multi-purpose stadium in Chaoyang District, Beijing, China. It is currently used mostly for soccer matches. It was constructed in 1986 for the 1990 Asian Games. The complex contains the main stadium, an indoor arena, a hockey field, and a natatorium.

It was renovated to host the 2008 Summer Olympics, where it hosted soccer matches and the running and riding parts of the modern pentathlon events. For the riding discipline, the soccer field at the core of the venue has been turned into a high-standard temporary equestrian field. The renovation also added four pavilion-styled rotating rampways around the stadium.

The stadium has a floor space of 34,975 m2, which exceeds the original building area of 20,000 m2. Its capacity has doubled after the renovation, from about 18,000 to 36,228.
