About
Although Seoul World Cup Stadium is a football stadium that was built for the Korea-Japan 17th World Cup in 2002, it features other facilities in addition to the main stadium including the World Cup Mall, a concert hall, a giant discount store, a cinema and the World Cup Memorial Hall. It is also home to the K-League (Korean football league) and the football club, FC Seoul. The stadium is open to the public for tours on non-game days.
The action isn't over yet
The Korea-Japan 17th World Cup in 2002 was a significant event that meant a great deal to the Korean people. Apart from its remarkable achievement in taking fourth place, the entire nation demonstrated an unprecedented level of fervor and excitement during the entire season. Since its success in staging the 2002 World Cup, the 66,800-seat stadium has continued to bustle with a variety of events, from the sporting variety to the cultural. During the off-season, the main stadium hosts mostly large-scale concerts, while the plaza, just north of the stadium, frequently hosts cultural and artistic events such as exhibitions and traditional Korean outdoor performances. In addition, several facilities are available for rent such as a reception hall, a VIP lounge and members’ rooms, all of which are ideal for banquets or small events.
One of the top ten soccer stadiums in the world
Seoul World Cup Stadium is also famous for its aesthetic value. In 2003, the UK Construction Industry Training Board named Seoul World Cup Stadium one of the world’s "Top 10 Best Football Stadiums" in the international football magazine, “World Soccer”. In the article, Seoul World Cup Stadium is praised as an architectural wonder beyond a stadium. Architecturally designed to represent the image of a traditional Korean kite and sailboat, Seoul World Cup Stadium signifies the hope for victory as well as Korean traditions.
The stadium also boasts a 25m x 9.2m scale digital screen, enabling the audience to view games vividly and clearly. The digital screen also displays the speed of the moving ball and the atmospheric conditions of the stadium (temperature, humidity, and wind velocity). A high quality digital sound system automatically controls the volume depending on the environmental sound conditions, maintaining an agreeable sound quality and preventing long reverberations or echos. Restrooms are also located on all floors in convenient locations, perfect for spectators who have little time to tear themselves away from the game.
