Jeju World Cup Stadium

Jeju World Cup Stadium is a football stadium located in the city of Seogwipo, on the South Korean island of Jeju, which is administratively part of the eponymous province. Since 2006, the stadium has been home of the K League club Jeju SK. It was built for the 2002 FIFA World Cup with a capacity of 42,000. Temporary seating in the East Stand was later removed and moved to other venues, reducing the capacity to 29,346 spectators.

The design of the stadium, which is in the shape of mouth of a volcano, is based on Jeju Island's natural volcanic environment and its sea surroundings. The roof of the stadium is in the form of nets of traditional fishing boats in Jeju.

Jeju World Cup Stadium hosted three matches at the 2002 FIFA World Cup.
