Overview
Gwangju FC is a K League 1 professional football club based in Gwangju. Their home stadium is Gwangju Football Stadium.
Seating Guide
Gwangju FC relocated its home ground from Gwangju Football Stadium to Gwangju World Cup Stadium (about 43,000 seats) in March 2025. A curved roof shaped after the ridgeline of Mudeungsan mountain covers 60% of the seats, while the remaining 40% is uncovered. As a multi-purpose venue with a running track, the pitch feels somewhat farther from the stands than at a football-only stadium.
