Daebo Construction said Friday it has completed G Stadium in Gwangju, Gyeonggi Province, which will serve as the main venue for the Gyeonggi Provincial Sports Festival and the Gyeonggi Provincial Para Sports Festival next month.
The company unveiled a full view of G Stadium and held a completion ceremony on Wednesday attended by Gwangju Mayor Bang Se-hwan and other officials. Construction on the facility began in July 2023. The complex spans two basement levels and three above-ground floors, with a site area of 123,903 square meters and a total floor area of 35,174 square meters.
The main stadium features a 12,000-seat soccer and track-and-field arena, a 470-seat swimming pool designed to international standards, and a 24-lane bowling alley. A Korea Football Association-certified auxiliary soccer field, a regulation-size baseball field, and a climbing facility have also been built.
G Stadium will host the 72nd Gyeonggi Provincial Sports Festival from April 16 to 18 and the 16th Gyeonggi Provincial Para Sports Festival from April 26 to 28.
At the completion ceremony, Daebo Construction CEO Kim Sung-ho and on-site staff received commendations from the Gwangju mayor. Mayor Bang said, "I thank Daebo Construction for successfully and safely completing the stadium where the sports festivals will be held."
A Daebo Construction official said, "We devoted our best efforts to the construction with pride in completing the venue for the Gyeonggi Provincial Sports Festival. We hope the events are held successfully, contributing to the advancement of sports, and that the facility will serve as a community sports center that promotes public health going forward."
