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.
