World Cup Fountain

World Cup Fountain

The World Cup Fountain was built to commemorate the 2002 FIFA World Cup co-hosted by South Korea and Japan. The World Cup Fountain is located in the Han-gang River in Seoul, South Korea, between the World Cup Stadium and Seonyudo Park. The fountain jets water at a height of 202 meters (~663 ft), a symbolic gesture to the year the FIFA World Cup was held in Seoul. To date, that makes it the tallest water fountain in the world...taller than the fountain in Fountain Hills, Arizona, or the Port Fountain in Karachi, Pakistan. To put things into perspective, the Washington Monument in Washington D.C. is only 169 meters tall.

The fountain does not constantly flow all day long, but it can be seen at least for a few hours on most days.
