Stadium at night

The Luhai National Football Stadium (Monsilvan: 绿海国家球场; pinyin: Lǜhǎi Guójiā Qiúchǎng), is a massive football stadium located in Neibu District, Luhai, Monsilva. It is currently the largest stadium in Monsilva in terms of capacity.

Completed in 1975, it was immediately adopted as the home stadium for the Monsilva national football team, after the team's previous stadium burnt down. The stadium was originally slightly smaller and had a white roof. In April 2009, the stadium was refurbished. The stadium was refurbished by the Monsilvan architect, Hu Yen, and makes use of solar energy to provide its power needs. As well as this, the refurbishment included an extension and seat re-organization which allowed the stadium's capacity to be increased by 32,000 seats. The stadium's semi spiral-shaped, intended to be like a dragon, is one of the first stadiums in the world to utilise solar power as its only source of power.

The stadium is also home to the Luhai City Football Club, which is the most successful team in Monsilva, winning the Monsilvan Super League more times than any other team. The team also has the largest number of players in the national team.

The stadium was one of the five stadiums, three of which were in Luhai, that were selected to host the the 2023 OFL Continental Cup in Monsilva.

Transportation

Thanks to the popularity of both of the stadium's home teams, transportation companies and the Luhai State Government have made serious efforts to make it as accessible as possible. The stadium can be accessed closest by Neibu station, which is within walking distance of the stadium. The station connects to the Monsilvan Railways Administration, which provides access from the station to other parts of Luhai City, as well as running into Meixian. The station also links to the Luhai Metro, which is an extensive metro network connecting a significant portion of the state of Luhai.

Luhai Central station, which can be accessed from Neibu very easily, provides both national and international high speed services, running to cities such as Amking, Menchi, Maojie, Zhangye and Wodai in Monsilva; and Baltanla City and Seattal in Baltanla.
