Overview

Daejeon Hana Citizen is a K League 1 professional football club based in Daejeon. Their home stadium is Daejeon World Cup Stadium.

Seating Guide

Korea’s first stadium with a semi-retractable roof, which when closed shields about 65% of the seats from rain and sun. As a football-only venue with no running track, the pitch feels close to the stands, and since 2024, skyboxes have also been added to the W stand, bringing the total to 6 private rooms (holding 4–16 people each).

Tickets

Tickets for this club are sold through Ticketlink. Use the button below to find and book your match.

  3. Sign up or log in (many sites accept your passport name in English).
