Watching football is great. Especially when you watch it live at the football stadium. You can feel the euphoria and the energy from players and supporters there. If you come to Korea, there is a football stadium that I want to recommend to you if you want to experience watching football in Korea. Yes, it is Seoul World Cup Stadium, also known as Sangam Stadium, which is located in Mapo-gu, Seoul.
Seoul World Cup Stadium is the second largest Stadium in South Korea. This stadium has its historical value because it was first built for 2002 World Cup, which means a lot for South Korean People, especially because at that time the South Korean football team made it to the semifinal. Besides, as for the facilities, in my opinion, this stadium is really huge, very clean, and very organized. The seats are very comfortable and overall, the facilities are also well-maintained.
If you are a football fan, you will be happy because this stadium is also a headquarter of FC Seoul, one of well-known football clubs in Korea. Some of FC Seoul matches are held in this stadium. As an international fans, you can buy the ticket directly at the stadium ticket counter or at fcseoul.com or interpark.com websites (you can see the price on that website). However, if there is no match at the time, you can still visit and have a tour around the stadium, just go buy ticket directly at the counter. The price of the entrance ticket for a tour around stadium was really cheap (only KRW 1.000 per person). Some of you who are not a fan of football may also visit this stadium for a Kpop concert.
To go there, I think the easiest way is to go by subway, then you can get off at World Cup Stadium station. From there you can just walk to reach the stadium.
I myself have two experiences going to this stadium. First, I went to visit and have a tour around the stadium, then the second experience is when I went here to watch the Dream Concert. Really sad because I never experienced watching football here. But I will surely come again to watch football match here and to meet our one and only Maknae Hyung, Lee Kang In :)
