First I would like to indicate that the official name for this stadium is "Seoul Worldcup Stadium" because it was builit in preperation for Korea-Japan Worldcup in 2001. FYR, Sangam is the name of the district where it's located.

Breaking down the seats, it has the total seats of 66,806 including the first class seats of 816 and the press seats of 754. Most important to Sercan, it has 75 luxury suites!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

PS) The stadium is the largest football-only stadium(I mean having no athletics tracks) in Asia. The second largest one is Saitama Stadium in Japan which has the seats of 63,700.

Thanks a lot
After posting the pics i forgot to ask the umber of suites :D

I'm the one who knows most exactly what you want in the world :lol::lol::lol:

Why was this stadium built for the 2002 World Cup and why wasn't the Jamsil Olympic Stadium used?

Why was this stadium built for the 2002 World Cup and why wasn't the Jamsil Olympic Stadium used?

Because Jamsil Olympic stadium was too big and the pitch was too far from the stands so was not an ideal candidate for a football venue. So, they just built a new stadium for football only. :D

Seoul United use Jamsil don't they?

Seoul United use Jamsil don't they?

Yes, Seoul United use Jamsil Stadium but they are playing in N-league, which is the 3rd division of K-league.

FC Seoul use Seoul WC stadium.

Because Jamsil Olympic stadium was too big and the pitch was too far from the stands so was not an ideal candidate for a football venue. So, they just built a new stadium for football only. :D

The seating capacity wasn't too big (it had a 69,000 capacity) and there have been several World Cup stadiums that have a capacity larger than that stadium. And there have been stadiums with athletics tracks that have hosted a World cup game. Also, has the Jamsil Olympic Stadium been falling into disrepair recently?

I like this stadium very much :okay:

Have any concerts taken place at the World Cup Stadium?

Just curious.

very cool stadium, although is does seem like the site lines close to the corners could have been better. nevertheless, amazing stad.

The Bidding Committee for the 2022 World Cup held a general meeting on March 4, 2010 at the Chosun Hotel and officially announced the list of host cities that will be included in Korea's 2022 World Cup bid.

At the meeting it was decided that Seoul World Cup Stadium would be the host stadium for the 2022 World Cup final ceremony.

The seating capacity of this Stadium will be expanded to 82,356 from 68,476.

Yes..

It was a historic event. Today’s match will be remembered forever in the history of the Korean sports industry. FC Seoul has once again proven to be an incredible squad, heightening the status of K-league and the local sports industry as a whole.

The Seoul-based prestigious soccer club has gathered 60,747 spectators today in a home match against the Seongnam, breaking the previous industry record set by the team itself three years ago. The team that broke the record by gathering more than 50,000 fans in 2007 is rewriting the history of the local soccer league, attracting a whopping 60,747 fans into the Seoul Stadium on the Children’s Day.
