Venue information

Ulsan is a port city on the southeastern coast and is the industrial center of South Korea. It is home to Hyundai Heavy Industries, the world's largest ship builder.

The soccer-only stadium was used during the Confederations Cup.

The $115 million venue opened on April 28, 2001.

 

The stadium draws its imagination from two symbols of the city - the dolphin and the crane. The clean, simple lines also reflect the simplicity and dignity of the crown of ancient Korean kingdom Silla.

The stadium is 9 kilometers (6 miles) from the city center. It is 15 kilometers (9 miles) from Ulsan Airport.

Ulsan will host two first-round matches and a quarterfinal.
