Venue information

The soccer-only stadium, which opened with a South Korea vs. United States friendly international last December, is 4 kilometers (2.4 miles) outside Seogwipo, the second largest city on the island. It overlooks a scenic coastline and sits in the shadows of Mount Halla, one of South Korea's highest peaks.

The $85.3 million stadium is designed to symbolize one of Jeju's many secondary volcanoes while its roof represents a net flung from a fishing boat.

It is 45 kilometers (27 miles) from Jeju International Airport.

The island will host the Group C match between Brazil and China on June 8 and the Group B match between Slovenia and Paraguay on June 12.
