Elderly and Disabled in Gyeonggi Province Watch Goyang and Suwon World Cup Qualifiers for 1,000 Won

Gyeonggi Province will offer admission to the 2026 North and Central America FIFA World Cup Asian qualifiers between South Korea and Oman, Jordan, held in Goyang and Suwon on the 20th and 25th respectively, for 1,000 won.

On the 17th, Gyeonggi Province announced that it will expand the eligibility for the ‘Opportunity Game Viewing Ticket’ from professional sports teams’ games within the province to include national team matches.

The Opportunity Game Viewing Ticket is a policy that supports more residents watching sports games at a low cost. Seniors aged 70 and over plus one companion, and persons with disabilities plus one companion, can watch games of 19 professional sports teams in soccer, baseball, basketball, and volleyball for 1,000 won.

Starting this year, Gyeonggi Province decided to extend the Opportunity Game Viewing Ticket to include national team matches.

Since national team matches require consultation with central sports organizations, Gyeonggi Province was able to secure a certain number of Opportunity Game Viewing Tickets for soccer national team matches through discussions with the Korea Football Association.

A Gyeonggi Province official said, "Through the Opportunity Game Viewing Ticket project, we will make sports more accessible to many residents," adding, "We will continue to develop various cultural and sports support policies to improve the quality of life for residents."
