The Queen Elizabeth Stadium (Traditional Chinese: 伊利莎伯體育館, frequently known as 伊館 or 新伊館) is an indoor sport facility on the Morrison Hill in Wan Chai, on the Hong Kong Island of Hong Kong. First opened in 1980, it has a 3,500-seat arena, gymnasiums, squash and badminton courts, and a multi-purpose hall. It was built by the Urban Council, and is now managed by the Leisure and Cultural Services Department of the Hong Kong Government.
It is usually in Cantonese language referred as San Yi Kun (新伊館, lit. New Queen Elizabeth Stadium) because there are some indoor playgrounds in Queen Elizabeth II Youth Centre (伊利沙伯青年館, also known as Macpherson Stadium) in Mongkok.
