Venue information

Busan is South Korea's second-largest city and its premier port. Located on the southeastern coast, Busan was opened to international shipping in 1876 and rapidly developed as the maritime gateway to South Korea.

The city hosted the draw for the 2002 World Cup and will also host the 2002 Asian Games in September.

The US$172 million stadium is 2 kilometers (1.2 miles) from the city center. It is 16 kilometers (10 miles) from Gimhae Airport.

The city will host three first-round matches, with Paraguay against South Africa on June 2, South Korea hosting Poland on June 4 in Group D and France against Uruguay in a June 6 Group A match.
