The time that keeps soccer fans all over the world awake has come again.
The World Cup in Qatar, which has been waiting for four years, has come to a splendid conclusion.
Our national team will play its first match against Uruguay in three days.
Let's find out more news by connecting to Qatar.
Reporter Kim Young-seong, is this the place where our national team will play?
<Reporter Kim Young-seong>
Yes, it is.
This is Doha's Education City Stadium, where Bentuho will play all three group stage matches.
It is like a home stadium for our team.
A little while ago, the national team took a first look at this stadium, the venue for the final match, and expressed great satisfaction with the condition of the grass and the pleasant environment.
Reporter Kim Hyung-yeol covered the story.

Coach Bento and 26 Taegeuk warriors visited Education City Stadium, the place of decisive battle.
Players including Son Heung-min touched the grass with their hands and ran to check the condition of the grass.
Since field training was not allowed to protect the grass, the players felt the grass condition wearing sneakers, not soccer shoes,
[Hwang Ui-jo/World Cup striker: (Hwang Ui-jo, how is the grass condition?) Okay, good.]
After a thorough inspection for 30 minutes, and a commemorative photo taken in groups of three or five, they expressed great satisfaction.
[Hwang In-beom/World Cup national team midfielder: It would be nice to train (here), but even if you can’t, wouldn’t it be helpful to see you here today…

The Education City Stadium, completed in 2020 and capable of accommodating 45,000 people, is Bentojo's home stadium.
We played all 3 group stage matches here, which is good for turf and acclimation to the environment, while the opposing country will play only 1 match against us at this stadium.

In the first match against Uruguay, the weather is sunny and the temperature is expected to be around 26 degrees Celsius, but the stadium's air conditioning system, which is set at 21 degrees Celsius as the default temperature, makes it possible to play in an optimal environment.
[Kim Moon-hwan/World Cup national team defender: I think it's perfect to play.
It seems like a little bit of wind.
It seems cool.]
The players, who had time to recharge with a sweet break yesterday (20th), will resume training for the game against Uruguay from tonight.
