Daejeon World Cup Stadium

Daejeon World Cup Stadium, Football stadium in Yuseong-gu, Daejeon, South Korea.

Daejeon World Cup Stadium is a modern sports facility with over 42,000 seats and a natural grass pitch located in the Noeun-dong district. The contemporary structure combines functional design with spectator amenities throughout the venue.

Construction of Daejeon World Cup Stadium began on 16 December 1998 with a budget of 147.8 billion won, and the venue was completed and opened on 13 September 2001. Built on a 169,769 m² site with 100,689.92 m² of gross floor area, it was South Korea's first football-specific stadium with a semi-retractable roof. It hosted the 2002 FIFA World Cup round of 16 match between South Korea and Italy, and in 2016 it was named the K League Green Stadium.

Daejeon Hana Citizen Football Club plays their home matches here in the top South Korean league. Fans fill the stands on game days, creating an energetic environment throughout the venue.

The stadium sits near the Yuseong interchange of the Honam Expressway branch line, and the Noeun Agricultural and Marine Products Wholesale Market is next door. World Cup Stadium Station on the Daejeon subway is actually closer to that market than to the stadium itself, so the last stretch is on foot. A 478-seat auxiliary pitch stands beside the main ground.

The stadium's semi-openable roof was South Korea's first for a football-specific ground, and the build used the precast concrete method for economy. It hosted the 2002 World Cup round of 16 match between South Korea and Italy, plus Peace Cup editions in 2003 and 2005 and the 2017 FIFA U-20 World Cup.
