The facts
The Seoul World Cup Stadium is also known as Sangam Stadium. It was opened in 2001, originally built for the 2002 World Cup which was held in Korea and Japan. It is the second largest stadium in Asia and has a capacity of 66,806 seats. This huge amount of seats include 816 seats for VIP, 754 seats for press and 75 for private Sky Box rooms, each with a capacity for 12 to 29 people.
The design of the Seoul World Cup Stadium represents the image of a traditional Korean kite. The stadium looks beautiful especially at night since the stadium illuminates as the light shining through the paper of a Korean traditional lamp. You can enjoy the romantic mood when you go there at nighttime.
As a Korean national football team fan, Seoul World Cup Stadium is a very meaningful place. It is the place where miracle was achieved in 2002 when Korean national football team achieved unbelievable results in World Cup for the first time in history. Not only that, most of the important ‘A matches’ for Korean national football team have been held in this stadium. Finally, it is the home ground of K-League club, FC Seoul.
By only paying 1000 won at the entrance of the stadium, you can enter 2002 FIFA World Cup museum. In there you will see historical and wonderful exhibitions related to football. Also, you can walk through the audience seat and feel the stadium’s vivid and animated scenes of football game that you can never feel by watching TV. Going into the players’ waiting room is another great experience as it has been used by many world class footballers.
Olympic Peace Park, Nanjicheon Park, and Noeul Park shine at nighttime and are great surroundings of the Seoul World Cup Stadium. These parks have magnificent fountains and trees are arranged beautifully for enjoyable strolls. Moreover, visitors enjoy movie at CGV Sangam 10 Cineplex that are equipped with 10 screens and over 1800 seats. After touring, people can fill their stomach in the discount shopping mall ‘HomePlus’. ‘HomePlus’ also offers vast shopping opportunities for visitors because it is the biggest mall of all ‘HomePlus’ in South Korea.

Visited Sangam stadium with friends. Didn't think that sports area could be a fun place to visit, but it does.
