Ho Chi Minh City Women's Club will play the semi-final match of the 2024-2025 AFC Champions League Women's Club against Wuhan Jiangda Club (China) at 3:00 p.m. on May 21 at Wuhan Sports Center Stadium.

This modern stadium, which opened in 2002, has a capacity of 54,000 and is the home ground of Wuhan Three Towns, a men's football club that competes in the Chinese Super League.

With its international quality, the Wuhan Sports Center Stadium was chosen by FIFA as the venue for Group D and two quarter-final matches at the 2007 Women's World Cup. It also hosted the 2015 East Asian Football Federation (EAFF) Men's Championship finals.

In addition to hosting major football events, Wuhan Sports Center Stadium also hosted the 2015 Asian Athletics Championships.

Notably, at the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic in Wuhan in early 2020, the Wuhan Sports Center Stadium was one of 16 locations used by China as a field hospital when medical facilities and hospitals there were overloaded.

But that was the story of more than 5 years ago, and now, Wuhan city in general and Wuhan Sports Center Stadium in particular are full of life.

Especially when this place will host two prestigious semi-finals and finals of the AFC Champions League Women's 2024-2025, organized for the first time by the Asian Football Confederation (AFC).

Coach Doan Thi Kim Chi and her team, when visiting the Wuhan Sports Center Stadium and experiencing the competition space, could not help but be amazed by the scale and modernity of the stadium.
