Seoul World Cup Stadium, where the national team evaluation match between Korea and Uruguay was held, was a hot atmosphere that continued the heat of the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar.
The Korean national soccer team,스포츠토토 led by coach Jurgen Klinsmann, lost 1-2 to Uruguay at the Seoul World Cup Stadium on the 28th.
On that day, 63,592 spectators visited the Seoul World Cup Stadium, and there were no empty seats.
After successfully advancing to the round of 16 for the first time in 12 years at the last World Cup in Qatar, it was confirmed that interest in the national team has increased.
Right after the kick-off, the Red Devils unfurled a large placard that read “It was a hot winter, we were all happy”, announcing that the match was an evaluation match and a self-congratulatory event for the World Cup round of 16 at the same time.
The atmosphere in the stadium was even more special because the opponent was the team that was the opponent in the first leg of the last World Cup group stage.
Fans cheered even more passionately, hoping to avenge the unfortunate game they couldn’t win in the World Cup (0-0). In addition, Federico Valverde (Real Madrid), who provoked Lee Kang-in (Mallorca) with a rough tackle, was booed, and the atmosphere seemed to be an extension of the World Cup.
In addition, cheers and cheering slogans poured in several times for those who emerged as stars through the World Cup, such as Lee Kang-in and Cho Kyu-seong (Jeonbuk).
Although Korea lost 1-2, the fans stayed in the stands until the end of the game regardless of the result.
The players also took a big lap around the playground and enjoyed the joy that they could not share at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, albeit belatedly.
