The Sinŭiju Stadium (신의주 경기장) is a 1965 built football stadium with an athletics facility in the North Korean border town Sinŭiju , P'yŏngan-pukto province . It is the home of the first division soccer club Kigwancha SC and has a capacity of 17,500 spectators.
Extensive work was carried out in and around the stadium between March and September 2015; the satellite images suggest a demolition. A so-called "sports village" may be created in its place.
