Summary

Description

Although I don't think I was supposed to be allowed onto the field, I have entered the field area of Olympic Stadium in Chamshil (Jamsil).

Under the electronic display, a banner says "FIFA World Cup 2002 should be held in Korea." South Korea was bidding to host the event, after having confidently hosted the 1988 Summer Olympics; Japan was the main competition for the bid. In 1996, the two countries were given joint hosting rights.

As this photo dates from 1994, titles are done in the internationally accepted McCune-Reischauer Romanization that South Korea used at this time, with Revised Romanization, South Korea's current Romanization system, in parentheses for cross-reference.
