Suwon Samsung, led by head coach Byun Sung-hwan, drew 0-0 against Chungcheongbuk-do Cheongju at Suwon World Cup Stadium on the 20th. Suwon (8 wins, 6 draws and 7 losses) has not lost in the last seven games. Chungcheongbuk-do Cheongju (6 wins, 11 draws, 4 losses) recorded two undefeated matches.
It was a very special game for Suwon. Suwon has been using the Suwon World Cup Stadium as its home since 2001. However, after the match, he will briefly leave 'Big Bird' (a nickname for Suwon World Cup Stadium). This is due to replacement work due to aging ground. As a result, it is impossible to use the stadium 'Big Bird' after the game. Suwon plans to play the rest of the 2024 season at Yongin Mir Stadium. On this day, 14,866 people participated in the stadium, the most in the K League 2 (division 2) this season.

I think it's worth a try. If you want to go to the playoffs, you have to produce good results. We're going to be challenging to run the game.'
Suwon manager Byun Sung-hwan listened to " (fans refer to 'Daddy") a lot. I think you build a good trust relationship that much. I need to do better to have continuity and continuity. So far, the players have trusted the novice coach and are following him well. We have a lot more to show in the future. We're getting more and more in sync."
