Other than full use of the countdown devices,the main stadium of the Dong'an Lake Sports Center,the site of the opening and closing ceremonies and a venue of the 31st FISU Summer World University Games,Chengdu 2021,has taken shape. Located in the Dong'an Lake area of Longquanyi in the city of Chengdu,said stadium is a Grade A complex with 40,000 seats,approximately 120,000 square meters in floor space and structural height of about 49.8 meters.

In December 2018,the city of Chengdu earned the right to host the 31st FISU Summer World University Games,but there was less than three years between the successful application and the start of the event.
