The ticket booking schedule for the 2026 Davis Cup match between "South Korea and India," where fans can witness South Korea's historic first attempt at reaching the world quarterfinals, has been announced.

The Korea Tennis Association announced on the 1st that "tickets for the 2026 Davis Cup second final round qualifying match between South Korea and India, to be held on the 18th and 19th at Seoul Olympic Park Tennis Center Court, will go on sale starting at 6 p.m. on the 3rd."

This Davis Cup holds significant meaning in the history of Korean tennis.

The South Korean national team advanced to this stage, equivalent to the world round of 16, by defeating powerhouse Argentina 3-2 in the first final round qualifying match held at Busan Gijang in February.

If they win against India, they will advance to the Davis Cup Finals in Bologna, Italy, in November, where eight nations from around the world will compete. This marks the first time South Korea has reached the Davis Cup quarterfinals stage in its competition history.

The South Korean national team is led by head coach Jeong Jong-sam. In singles, Kwon Soon-woo (world ranking 150), Chung Hyeon (567), and Shin San-hee (528) are preparing to compete. Hong Seong-chan-do (CEO) was added to the team roster. In doubles, Nam Ji-seong (doubles world ranking 125) and Park Ui-seong (doubles ranking 334) will add their strength.

Especially for this tournament, the Korea Tennis Association is actively promoting team support culture to allow fans to experience the unique fun of the Davis Cup, the world's largest international tennis team competition.

Some seats behind the benches of both teams' players will be designated as "Support Zones." Clappers, cheering tools that produce clapping sounds, will be provided to spectators in the Support Zones, premium seats, and side LINE seats. Supporters who purchase two-day tickets for the Support Zones and premium seats will also receive free support T-shirts.

Spectators in the Support Zones may bring Taegeukgi flags and personal cheering tools, and are free to make sounds and cheer between players' points.

The Association stated, "While cheers erupting whenever a player wins a point can be seen at any tennis match, we expect the passionate support of wearing team T-shirts, waving Taegeukgi flags, and shouting 'South Korea' to become a special scene unique to the Davis Cup, an international team competition."

The Davis Cup consists of five matches over two days, with the first nation to secure three victories declared the winner.

On the first day, the 18th, starting at 2 p.m., two singles matches will be held in succession. On the second day, the 19th, beginning at noon, one doubles match and two singles matches will take place.

Ticket sales will be conducted through the fashion and lifestyle platform '29CM'. The full schedule of all matches and detailed information can be confirmed via the booking site 29CM, the Korea Tennis Association's official website, and Instagram.
