This national football match is the first to be held in Ulsan in four years since 2019, marking a step forward in establishing the city as a sports mecca.

It is said that Ulsan City put great effort into hosting this match to fulfill the promises of the 8th term of the local government, which pursues citizen happiness and the construction of a city of dreams.

An official from Ulsan City stated, “As this is the first national team match held in Ulsan in four years, significant traffic congestion and parking shortages are expected. We ask for cooperation in using public transportation and temporary parking lots.”
