South Korea plays 'at home' in Guadalajara Stadium for World Cup 2026

The World Cup kicked off in Guadalajara with a vibrant atmosphere, but it was South Korea that played "at home" in Mexico against the Czech Republic. An impressive number of fans traveled thousands of miles to support their team, creating a sea of red that rivaled the fervor usually reserved for the Mexican national team.

Mexican fans embraced the "Tigres de Asia," chanting "We love Korea; go Korea; we support Korea; Korean, brother, you are already Mexican." This outpouring of support clearly delighted the South Korean contingent.

One fan shared his joy, stating, "I am very happy to come to Mexico, I have visited here before and it is amazing, there is good energy, good attention, the people here are very happy, everyone is very nice." Another supporter, who lives in the United States, found the Mexican people "quite pleasant" and their energy infectious, noting a stark contrast to his home country where "you can't talk to people on the streets because they think you're crazy."

For the South Korean fans, the stadium was "beautiful" and the excitement for their team's first World Cup match was palpable. The warm welcome and the passionate atmosphere made them feel comfortable and celebrated in Mexico.
