This project aims to create a state-of-the-art sports complex that could potentially host Olympic competitions in the future.

By 2030, Me Linh is expected to become a thriving ecological urban area at the northern gateway of the capital, featuring urban zones that integrate high-tech agricultural exhibitions with flower cultivation, tourism, and logistics services. The area will also develop ancillary industries for distribution and clean manufacturing.

The Ring Road No.4 – Capital Region project, which runs for 11 kilometers through Me Linh District, will have distinct zoning on both sides: one side for urban development and the other for an agricultural green corridor.

Since residential areas around this green corridor could encroach on it, there is a need to balance residential development to maintain the green corridor.

The l proposed area, designated as GN1-2 in the GN urban subdivision, is intended for green, specialized recreational areas. It will house a comprehensive sports complex, including a central stadium, indoor and outdoor arenas, a multi-purpose cultural center, public sports zones, and supporting facilities.

Me Linh District envisions this sports park as a modern complex of regional significance, ready to host Olympic events in the future.

Developing a detailed plan for this project also helps define functional zones that meet local growth needs and fit seamlessly into the surrounding infrastructure.
