Jeju World Cup Stadium

Jeju World Cup Stadium

Jeju World Cup Stadium is located in the Fahan-dong 914 area of Seogwipo, a renowned tourist city in South Korea. It is a football stadium with a capacity of 42,256 spectators. It served as a major venue during the 2002 FIFA World Cup and is currently the home ground of Jeju United FC, a team in the Korean K League.

The design of Jeju World Cup Stadium takes inspiration from Oreum—small, dormant volcanoes that appear as hills when viewed from a distance—and the volcanic vents formed during eruptions. The roof resembles the shape of traditional Jeju fishing nets. Both its design and construction reflect the unique environment and climate of Jeju. Moreover, considering the island’s terrain and weather conditions, the running track is built 14 meters below ground level to shield it from strong winds. With its soft and elegant overall appearance, Jeju World Cup Stadium is not only a famous sports venue on the island but also one of Seogwipo’s most renowned tourist attractions. Sports enthusiasts visiting the area will not want to miss seeing it.
