Chinese Super League team Guangzhou Evergrande is in the process of building the largest football-only stadium in the world and shared a video giving viewers an idea of what the completed project will look like.

The stadium is modelled after a lotus flower and was designed by Shanghai-based, American architect Hasan Syed. It will hold 100,000 seats and 168 VIP boxes, making it the largest football-only stadium and fourth largest overall stadium in the world. Only the Rungrado 1st May Stadium in DPR Korea, Dallas Cowboys’ AT&T Stadium, and the Melbourne Cricket Ground have bigger capacities.

Reports suggest that 12 billion yuan ($1.69 billion) have been invested into the project. It is due to be completed by the end of 2022. Check out renderings of the stadium below.
