"Daehanminguk Jjakjjak~ Jjakjjak"… Asian Games Football Final Cheer Event to be Held in Suwon on the 7th

Gyeonggi Province will hold a citizen cheering event at the main stadium of Suwon World Cup Stadium on the 7th to support the Korean national team, which advanced to the football final of the 19th Hangzhou Asian Games.

On the 6th, Gyeonggi Province announced that it plans to hold the cheering event starting two hours before the match, which begins at 9 p.m., from 7 p.m., and has prepared thorough safety measures such as deploying safety management personnel, managing citizen flow, and providing guidance for returning home to ensure a safe cheering environment.

Gyeonggi Province plans to allow spectators to watch the match using the main scoreboard on the south stand of the main stadium.

Also, to prevent damage to the stadium turf, the ground will not be opened, and citizens will be able to watch the match from the north stands.

The north stands have a total of 9,555 seats, including 3,715 seats on the first floor, 5,776 seats on the second floor, and 64 seats for the disabled.

Gyeonggi Province expects about 1,000 citizens to visit the main stadium and plans to deploy 110 safety operation personnel one hour before the spectators’ entrance, based on a maximum capacity of 2,000 people.

The safety operation personnel will guide the flow of people and maintain order, and a comprehensive control room will be operated to oversee this. In preparation for emergencies, one ambulance and one pump car will be stationed at the entrance.

Gyeonggi Province will also open a parking lot with a capacity of about 2,000 vehicles free of charge and deploy guides to control the surrounding situation.

Those who want to participate in the citizen cheering event can enter the main stadium from two hours before the match without any separate application procedure. However, for order maintenance, entry and exit are only allowed through the north entrances (2A, 2B). Dangerous items such as glass bottles and fireworks are prohibited upon entry.

To ensure a pleasant and safe cheering experience for residents, Gyeonggi Province will open the parking lot inside the stadium free of charge and distribute 1,000 portable cushions and, if necessary, hand warmers considering the weather.

Meanwhile, last November during the 2022 Qatar World Cup, Gyeonggi Province opened Suwon World Cup Stadium and Suwon Convention Center four times to hold cheering events for the Korean national team. The number of participants at that time was 5,200 for the Uruguay match, 720 for the Ghana match, and 1,200 for the Portugal match, totaling 7,120 people.

Gyeonggi Province Governor Kim Dong-yeon recently revealed the citizen cheering event news on the social networking service Threads after receiving a request from a young person about to enlist to promote street cheering for the Asian Games football final, saying, "We have prepared street cheering for the Korea-Japan final. Thank you for the great idea. Please contact us anytime."
