Pohang Steel Yard, Football stadium in Pohang, South Korea
Pohang Steel Yard is a football stadium in Pohang, South Korea, home to the Pohang Steelers. The ground features a natural grass pitch surrounded by covered stands, with a capacity of around 17,000 spectators.
The stadium opened in 1990 and has served as the home of the Pohang Steelers ever since. It was built to replace the older steel yard ground and has hosted professional league matches for decades.
The name Steel Yard nods to the city's steel industry, and the home supporters are known for their loud, coordinated chants. On match days, the stands fill with red and black, and the energy carries into the streets around the ground.
The stadium is easy to reach by public transport, with a dedicated stop near the main entrance. Arrive early on match days to avoid crowds and to find your seat without rushing.
The stadium's name is a play on the city's steelworks, and its location next to the industrial complex gives it a setting unlike most football grounds. Fans often gather outside the north stand to watch the teams arrive.
