The stadium will be named after Guss Hiddink (who stands fifth from the left), former head coach of the South Korean national team. Other city officials participated in the ceremony that took place in Incheon, South Korea.

Hiddink was awarded the honour because he is seen as a kind of miracle worker as he lead the South Korean national soccer team to the 2002 World Cup semifinals.
