Ulsan vs GangWon questions

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:

  1. In which stadium is the game played tonight? The information I find online in English is not really clear about that.

  2. 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.

Done and dusted

!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.!<

Jersey Sponsor

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?

Best game to attend on 10/11

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

Incheon (35pts) closing in on Jeonbuk (37pts) after 1-0 against Gwangju. 3 rounds to go

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.

I know it's not Korean, but...

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.!<

Rumour: Hwaseong FC going pro

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

Where to buy Suwon FC 4th kit? (I’m in Suwon)

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!

K4 League Bomb.

Just two days until the final round and the K3/4 League Instagram posted this.

From what I understand, Jeonju (3rd) and Sejeong(13th) are disqualified from the K4 League with immediate effect. Daejeon Hana (2nd) will leave the league, but it's not clear if it's immediately, or only after the season. I get the impression their position is being vacated for teams who would benefit from promotion.

If Daejeon is out then that means there is suddenly an automatic promotion spot available. And with Jeonju out as well a playoff chance just became so much easier for Seoul Nowon, Chungju, and Geojae. I was going to be in Nowon on the off chance that they get a playoff spot, and be there to celebrate a great season, but now we'll be watching a team who can, in theory, get automatic promotion!

Ulsan HD is hot garbage

Dumb motherfuckers have zero points with zero goals scored in three games (literally how?). These guys have fossils whose prime was ages ago as their starters (and even worse, these fossils get picked by Hong for the NT). They are the ONLY K League team to have lost to J League teams in the past five years. Gwangju is tearing up Asia with a fraction of their budget by employing innovative tactics, but Ulsan loses every point they earn for our coefficient. Gangwon is making headlines in the K League by giving a chance to youngsters, and they've been rewarded with a record-breaking transfer to Europe. Ulsan has no football heritage to speak of. No young, promising investments to carry their team in the future. The rest of the league needs to gang up on these perpetual bottlers and make sure they never win the league or get an Asia spot again. The Yeongnam teams have gotten too comfortable with their Asia spots. I hope old giants (Seoul, Jeonbuk) and rising stars (Gwangju, Gangwon, Daejeon) become Korea's representatives soon.

WK League

The first playoff game, Suwon vs Gyeongju, will be played on the 2nd of November in Suwon. The format seems to be different this year with it being a single game rather than the home and away structure of last year.

AFC Women's Champions League

The teams participating in the final knock-out stage have been decided, but they have not made the fixtures available yet. Why this couldn't have been decided before the tournament is baffling.

K league 2 playoffs likely teams and location

I'm in South Korea for a couple weeks from 9-23 November and had hoped to see a game preferably in K-League 1 but unfortunately on the weekends when games are being played I have pre-arranged plans.

I googled K-League 2 and apparently there is a 'semi-final' played on the 21/11. I don't know if that's actually the case or if there's any way to know who would be playing and the location. In the UK championship playoffs are usually played in Wembley so I was kinda hoping it might be the same and played in Seoul.

Any help much appreciated!

Jasir Asani

What an absolute monster. He has SIX goals in just three matches for Gwangju in the ACL Elite against stiff competition. He is quite possibly the best player in the tournament, rivaling even the most expensive Arab team players. I really, really hope Gwangju holds onto him in the winter, bulks up the rest of the squad, and wins the whole thing with him. I'd love to see him stay in the K League, but given Gwangju's financial situation, it seems unlikely.

Anyways, what a gem of a player. Good luck to Gwangju.

K4 Champions: Jeonbuk Reserves

There was a weird unscheduled game early Friday afternoon. It wasn't listed on any of the sites I use, and it wasn't listed on the K3/4 Instagram page, but there it was, with 500 people watching at 2 in the afternoon.

According to a K3/4 Instagram post, they earned enough points to be crowned champions, granting them automatic promotion. I found it amusing that the comment section was filled with little green hearts. Well done! You, the richest club in the country, with a reserve team full of full-time young players, managed to take on a league with part-time, semi-professional teams. ;)

When Samsung Bluewings come to town

The Bucheon side of the stadium

The visititor side of the stadium

I wanted to know what the visitor side of the stadium was like, and Id never sat with the Suwon fans, so it was a perfect opportunity. I'm still of the opinion that the Bluewings songs sound the best, but it's a bit uncomfortable sitting with the traditional enemy hoping they lose. :P

The weirdest thing about Suwon in K League 2 must be the disparity in the sides of the stadium. One side is packed and booming, while the rest of the stadium is relatively empty and their sounds are drowned out by said boom. (I miss the noisy battles of the Supermatch)

Gimcheon Sangmu - Worth making the trip?

Hello everyone trying to decide what game to go to today, I'm about 2.5 hours from Gimcheon and it's Sangmu v Ulsan, a big game! But is it worth it to go when adding in stadium atmosphere? I like to see fan culture but it's the military team, is there really even a fan culture?

Football pub quiz

Hello good people! I am making a football pub quiz cause I love it and I am looking for some fun pub quiz style questions/facts about football in South Korea. Any league, cup, player, national team, whatever. Does anyone happen to know a good sub-reddit for this, a page, a file, or anything to help me with this? I already have a lot but it’s getting harder and harder to find fun questions.

Thanks so much!
