According to previous reports of Shenzhen news network, Shenzhen Sports Center will be upgraded to meet the requirements of professional stadiums for holding high-level sports events.
According to the report, the two main buildings of Shenzhen Sports Center have impressed the public most: Shenzhen stadium and Shenzhen stadium. The gymnasium is mainly engaged in basketball, tennis, sports gymnastics and other events, while the stadium is engaged in football events. The two major projects were invested and built by the Shenzhen Municipal Government in 1985. They were one of the "eight major cultural facilities" in Shenzhen in the 1980s.
However, due to the long construction time, the supporting facilities can not meet the needs. Shenzhen municipal government decided to upgrade the function and capacity of Shenzhen stadium. After the transformation, it will be upgraded from 32000 seats to 45000 seats to meet the needs of holding international class a football matches. According to the plan, Shenzhen stadium will be completed by June 30, 2020 at the latest.
The gymnasium is located in the Shenzhen Sports Center on Sungang Road, Futian District. The demolition site of the stadium collapsed and four construction workers were trapped. The public security, street, emergency fire departments and other departments rushed to the scene for disposal at the first time. As of 12:30 noon, two trapped people had been rescued and sent to the hospital for treatment. Two people are still trapped at the scene, and rescue work is under way. The cause of the accident remains to be further investigated.
At about 13:27, a staff member of the emergency department of Shenzhen Second People's hospital told surging news that six people had been sent to the hospital from Shenzhen sports center. The staff also said that at present, all emergency department staff are working overtime.
