Cheering sections at Gwangju World Cup Stadium

Gwangju FC’s 2026 seat map marks the south end of section E (east side), A and B in the front row and G, H and I in the back row, as the supporters’ section and all of section N (north side) as the away section, with the home-team gate at the south-east corner near the supporters. The club’s press releases also describe the W, E and S stands as home-fan seating. Choose “Cheering” as the seat preference to rank seats near these zones first; the crowd sound in the audio preview also comes from here.

What sources confirm — From the Gwangju World Cup Stadium seat map in Gwangju FC’s 2026 ticket policy, we read the names and order of the 45 sections on sale (E A–L, W A–G, I and J, N (away) A–L, S A–L), their front and back rows, and each section’s share of its row. The map has no scale, so positions are modelled. The front of the lower stand sits 4.3 m outside the outer edge of a standard 400 m, eight-lane track, a value back-solved from the pitch markings and track lane lines in a match photo on the Seo-gu district website. Row counts follow the club photo, which shows about 10 rows in front of the lower-tier cross aisle and about 10 behind it. The supporters’ section (E A, B, G, H, I) and the N away section are as marked on the seat map.

What remains estimated — The only official seat count is the operator’s 40,245 for the whole stadium (Gwangju Sports Council), so per-block counts for the lower tier sold at Gwangju FC matches are the number of seats that fit each outline at 0.8 m rows and 0.45 m seats (a model value). The front line comes from a photo back-solve and may be off by about ±2 m, and the north and south ends are assumed to follow the track at the same distance as the east and west sides. First-row heights (1.3 m in front of the cross aisle, 6 m behind it) and riser heights are estimates from photo proportions. The east and west upper tiers, which are not sold, the centre of the W back row (main-stand seating) and the simple table seats in W B are excluded. With no upper tier, the roof is drawn low over the lower stand. Rows, numbers and sound are experience models.

Views are calculated using a 1.75 m figure, your chosen eye height and seat coordinates. Actual obstructions from people, railings or equipment and show-specific layouts may not be represented. Sound samples compare the direction and distance of instruments, speakers and crowds. They do not reproduce the venue’s actual sound quality or reverberation. Scores indicate preference fit; actual obstructions, sound quality and price are not yet included.
