Yongin Mireu Stadium (Korean용인미르스타디움), formerly named Yongin Citizen Sports Park, is a multi-purpose stadium located in Yongin, South Korea. It is the home ground of K League 2 club Yongin FC.

History

Yongin Mireu Stadium was built to replace the aging Yongin Stadium. Initially, it was intended to be built as a multi-purpose sports park including an auxiliary stadium, a 32-lane bowling alley, and an underground parking lot.[3] However, only the main stadium was completed first due to budget constraints.[3] The stadium was completed by late 2017 at the cost of $219 million.[2] In 2019, it hosted six games of the 2019 AFC Women's Club Championship.[2]

In July 2020, following a citizen survey, the name was changed from Yongin Citizen Sports Park to Yongin Mireu Stadium, reflecting the stadium's design, which is shaped like a soaring dragon (mireu is the Korean translation for a dragon).[2][4]
