The stadium's name commemorates the legendary Joseon-era naval commander Admiral Yi Sun-sin, who spent his youth and early family life in Asan.
It serves as the dedicated home ground for Chungnam Asan FC, a club that transitioned from a police-affiliated team to a citizen-owned professional club in 2020.
The stadium is part of a larger sports park that hosts various local festivals and marathons, distinct from professional football fixtures.
Despite being a dedicated football venue, it features a traditional athletic track, which is increasingly uncommon in modern stadium designs intended exclusively for football.
The stadium complex covers a significant land area designed to accommodate multiple concurrent community sporting events outside of the main arena.
Yi Sun-sin Stadium is a multi-purpose sports facility in Asan, South Korea, primarily functioning as the home ground for the professional K League 2 club, Chungnam Asan FC. The venue features a natural grass pitch surrounded by an athletics track and a main grandstand with a distinctive partial roof structure. It has a seating capacity of approximately 17,376 spectators. The stadium complex is integrated into the larger Yi Sun-sin Sports Complex, which includes auxiliary training fields and indoor sports facilities. It was completed in 2008 and underwent upgrades to meet professional football infrastructure standards after Asan FC was founded. The site is named in honor of the naval commander Yi Sun-sin, who has historical ties to the Asan region. The facility serves as the primary regional hub for both competitive professional matches and local community athletics events.
