Wulihe Stadium (simplified Chinese: 五里河体育场; traditional Chinese: 五里河體育場; pinyin: Wǔlǐhé Tǐyùchǎng) was a multi-purpose stadium in Shenyang, China.
The stadium had a capacity of 65,000 people and was built in 1989. It was used mostly for football matches. The opening match took place in August 1989 when Santos beat Liaoning 1–0.[1]
It was the home stadium of Shenyang Ginde football team. It was the site of the Chinese National Team's clinching a spot for the 2002 FIFA World Cup Finals when they defeated Oman 1–0 to claim a spot for the finals in South Korea. It was demolished on 12 February 2007 after 18 years of usage to make way for a shopping mall.[2] A new Shenyang Olympic Sports Center Stadium was constructed in 2007 to host some of the football matches for the Beijing Olympics in 2008 and replace this stadium.
