Here you will learn more details about the Seoul World Cup Stadium.

Seoul World Cup Stadium Size and Structure

The Seoul World Cup Stadium takes the shape of traditional kites and sailboats as its structural inspiration. In the bird's eyes view, its roof looks like a kite floating in the air. This architectural style, symbolized by flying a kite toward victory, combines Korean traditional culture with the spirit of World Cup sports. The roof is 50 meters high, is supported by 16 masts, and covers 90% of the stadium's seats. It is currently the second largest stadium in South Korea after Seoul Olympic Stadium and is the 2nd largest rectangular stadium in Asia. At nighttime, illuminations bathe the stadium in a warm, soft light, much like the light shining through the paper of a traditional Korean lamp.
