South Korean media stunned as Vietnam is about to own the world's largest stadium

The Korean press is abuzz with excitement over the unprecedented scale of the Trống Đồng Stadium project.

Recently, South Korean media have expressed genuine surprise and amazement upon learning that Vietnam is preparing to build a stadium of a size never before seen in the history of global sports. With a seating capacity of up to 135,000, the facility planned for Hanoi is regarded as a new symbol of Vietnam’s global sporting ambitions.

According to sources from Korea, if the project is completed on schedule by 2028, Vietnam will officially have the world’s largest stadium, surpassing iconic venues such as Camp Nou and Wembley. Beyond its scale, this project has drawn special attention from Korean media due to the strategic ambitions behind it. Trống Đồng Stadium once upgraded, will fully meet FIFA standards, aiming to become a hub for hosting major sports and cultural events like the World Cup, Olympics, or ASIAD.

The fact that a private corporation like Vingroup is leading the project further impresses Korean media, highlighting Vietnam’s rapid infrastructure development and long-term vision. This is no longer just about a stadium, but a step that asserts Vietnam’s new status on the international sports map.

From the perspective of South Korean media, the question “Has Vietnam really reached this level?” reflects not only surprise but also clear recognition: Vietnam is transforming rapidly and ready to join the elite global sports arena—where only countries with vision, resources, and ambition dare to compete.
