Scarves of teams I follow to some degree.
Top:
Springboks (South African Rugby National Team)
FC Seoul (K League 1)
HL Anyang (Isial League Ice Hockey)
Bottom:
AFC Wimbledon (English League 2)
Cheonan City (K League 2)
Nowon United (K4, the newest)
Missing:
Blue Bulls (Rugby scarfs are not always available in South Africa)
FC Anyang (No idea why I never bought one)
I have other scarves, but they are the last option when I visit other teams. I prefer to get pins, then key rings, then scarves.
A 10-hour day, but it was worth it despite the loss. I was gifted a scarf by the Nowon supporters. Right now it's hanging with the other scarfs, but I hope to make regular trips to Nowon with it next season.
What a bunch of losers 🤣 I actually really wanted them back up but they were outperformed by a bunch of absolute nugus.
Hello everyone, really looking forward to (trying) to go to the KFA Cup Final in Seoul on Nov 30th. How can I buy tickets online, and if not, will there be tickets available allocated for purchase at the gate?
18 year old winger Kim Min-su of Girona subbed on for Bryan Gil in the 79th minute in a 0-4 loss to PSV. The game was already lost by the time he came on (0-2 with a red card), but he still got a few touches in his limited playing time. I thought his passes looked sharp, and he showcased his speed in a good moment of ball progression. He was still dispossessed by PSV's relentless pressing.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but he may be the youngest Korean ever to play in the UCL. I hope he develops well in Girona. The club is a member of the City Football Group, so perhaps he can make a move to Man City one day.
The future of Korea's attack looks bright with all these youngsters in Europe.

Our game against Kuwait on the 14th could be a great opportunity to play these up and coming lads.
Four games, zero wins, zero goals scored, ten goals conceded. Probably a dozen traveling fans. The worst CL performance by any K League team in history. You guys are the embarrassment of this league and nation. Retire the nursing home disguised as a back line and give the youth a chance. The resuls will be the same, but at least you'll have players in the future.
"But at least we beat the potato farmers and won the (300)K League" xddd
Can anyone tell me, if the contract of Wanderson from Pohang Steelers is valid for next season?

Sorry if this is a bit abnormal. I'm a Western Sydney fan, currently enduring one of the worst starts to the season we've ever had (and we've had some bad ones). Much of this is due to a certain Jeong Tae-Wook, he's absolutely hopeless. Can someone explain to me what the hell is going on with this guy? He looks like he was once very highly rated in Korea, but I just dont understand how his performances are so below standard.
Was he always like this? Is his attitude bad?
Hi,
I want to watch more of the K-League now that I'm trying to learn Korean (immerse myself in the things I enjoy to get used to the language). What ways are there to watch the K League in the UK?
Perfect weather and a good crowd (by WK League standards) for the playoff today. For those unfamiliar with WK, the 2nd- and 3rd- placed teams in the regular league play a playoff for the chance to face the 1st-placed team in the two-legged championship final. The playoff is played at the home stadium of the 2nd-placed team, this year Suwon FC. Gyeongju KHNP were the away team. I support Gyeongju, so I may be biased in their favour, but on the whole this was a fantastic match between two very evenly matched teams. Gyeongju seemed to have more possession and more chances, and scored the first goal. They missed some very good chances to put another away, including one about a minute after the first, but eventually Suwon managed to score an equaliser. The score remained 1-1 at the end of full time, and neither team scored in extra time, despite chances at both ends. It all came down to a penalty shoot-out, which Suwon won 5-4. Some of the best football I've seen all season, and some of the worst refereeing. Even knowing the result, it's well worth a watch (available on youtube, or playing on Sky sports right now). If you haven't given WK a chance yet, let this be the match that convinces you. Suwon have only a couple of days to recover from today's lengthy ordeal, as they will play regular league winners Hwacheon KSPO in the two-legged championship final, this Tuesday evening (in Suwon) and Saturday afternoon (in Hwacheon).
*Done..
We caught Anyang's travelling fans just as we left the ice hockey arena. There were about 200-300 of them, still jubilant after a 0-0 result against Bucheon this afternoon, securing them the K League 2 title and automatic promotion.
I'm not exactly a supporter myself, but I've been to at least some of their games since their first year in existence. I wasn't even aware it was their first year. So, I'm happy for them, and I hope this pushes the city to get moving with the new stadium.
Congrats to Ulsan 😭
The rebel forces have lost after an exciting and valiant campaign and the Hyundai Empire continues to rule over Korean football
Hey I am traveling Korea at the moment and stay in Ulsan this night. I thought about attending the game of Ulsan vs GangWon this evening. I am a big football fan from Dortmund (BVB).
I have two (maybe 3) questions:
In which stadium is the game played tonight? The information I find online in English is not really clear about that.
Is it still possible to get a ticket? Again Information not really clear.
(3. For which team should I cheer tonight? Haha)
Thank you in advance.
Pleaseee win today and the rest of your fixtures to once and for all free this league from the 현대강점기 🙏
We will do our part next week with a Lingardinho hat-trick.
!I'm yet to see any indication on the K League or Anyang Instagrams, but it seems like Anyang might already be the champions of K League 2.!<
!Asan failed to get any league points at Suwon last night and since Asan has only one game left to play, they are unable to gain the 4 points needed to catch the leaders. !<
!I thought E-Land had a mathematical change if they won both their games and Anyang lost both, but according to the site I use that is not enough. I guess the head-to-head score is more important than Goal Difference.!<
Hello. Can someone help me? I wanna buy the Jeonnam Dragons Away jersey in the shop but it says it’s like without marking and without patch. But i have the option to choose if i want the K League 2 patch and a name. But there’s under where i can enter the name a menu where it says home/away selection. So the jersey will be without sponsor then?
What game is best to attend on the 10th? I’m debating between the FC Seoul game or the Jeonbuk game. I’ll be in Seoul already but they probably won’t have much to play for whereas Jeonbuk will have something to play for. I’m guessing tickets will be available for both? Appreciate any thoughts/suggestions

Not the greatest of games but still a win against Gwangju. Expect Asani to be benched for the foreseeable future again.
Meanwhile Jeju very unsportsmanlike fielding three (!!!) mercenaries. Thought I even saw them wasting some time towards the end there. Hopefully KFA cracks down on this disgusting behaviour before the K League drops down to Malaysian football levels.
It's still fun and worth watching.
!The Keeper came up to take a freekick from almost on the halfway line and put it into the top corner. Lots of luck, but still amazing to watch.!<
Last of the post dumps, I promise!
The schedule for the amateur leagues' championships has been finalised. They do it quick like and everything will conclude in the first two weekends of November. The final will be played on the 10th of November at Chungju Stadium.
Rumour is that Hwaseong FC intends to join K League 2 for the 2025 season.
It would not surprise me because they've been running themselves fairly professionally. In their first year in 2013 they were already charging for entrance, although it was only about 5,000 won. They even have had replica shirts available to purchase. Also, they've been playing in the main stadium instead of the annexe for a few years already.
If this is true then we are looking at 4 teams taking the plunge in the last, what is it, 4 years? I think Gimpo went pro in 2022, Cheonan and Cheongju in 2023, and Now possibly Hwaseong in 2025
I am in Suwon right now and I absolutely love the new design of the new kit (the black one with the dragon). Now I’m trying to figure out where i can buy it here. I cannot even seem to find it on the SuwonFcShop website. I’m starting to worry I can’t find it before I leave. Help is much appreciated!
