Ulsan Munsu Football Stadium is full of smiles even before the whistle.

Ulsan HD, which opened the door of the dynasty, will play its last game against Suwon FC at 2 p.m. on the 23rd at Munsu Football Stadium 'Hana Bank K League 1 2024'. Ulsan, which has 69 points, secured its third consecutive victory early on.

For the third consecutive year in Ulsan, the joy of 'Flower' is wavering. The coronation will be held after the game. Ulsan reached the top of the K League 1 in 2022 for the first time in 17 years, and last year won its first two consecutive games since its foundation. It is also the first time that the team has won three consecutive games. She wore her fifth star on her chest in 1996 and 2005.



After Seongnam FC (1993-1995, 2001-2003), which was a corporate club, and Jeonbuk Hyundai, which won the K League 1 for five consecutive years from 2017 to 2021, it became the third team to win three consecutive games.

6th place Suwon FC (53 points), which achieved its primary goal of advancing to the Final A, is aiming to advance to the Asian stage. The K-League has 2.5 Asian Championship Elite (ACLE), which is the upper stage, and one ACL2 qualification, which is the lower stage. Ulsan, the winner, takes one and has 1.5 remaining tickets for ACLE.



Next is the chaos of variables. We have to watch the Korea Cup final (30th, Seoul) between Ulsan and Pohang Steelers, and ACLE and ACL2 journey in the 2024-2025 season. The ACLE winning team, which includes Ulsan, Pohang, and Gwangju, will have one ticket next season. The ACL2 winners, in which Jeonbuk is participating, will be eligible to play in the ACLE PO (playoff). However, Kimcheon Sangmu (63 points), the second-ranked military team, is not allowed to participate in the ACL. Gangwon FC (61 points), which can regain the second place, is likely to win the ticket.

There is no concession because there is a chance for the fourth place as well as the fifth place. Suwon FC's fourth-place FC Seoul (55 points) and fifth-place Pohang (53 points), one goal behind in multiple points, are both within range. First of all, you have to rank fourth, the highest ranking, to increase your chances of advancing to the ACL.



The best 11 has been revealed. Ulsan coach Kim Pan-gon brings up the 4-4-2 system. On the 25th, he considered ACLE with Shanghai Sanggang (China). While Yago and Kim Ji-hyun are in the two-top, Kim Min-joon, Lee Kyu-sung, Kim Min-hyuk, and Arabidze line up in midfield. Shim Sang-min, Hwang Seok-ho, Kang Min-woo, and Kim Joo-hwan will breathe in the four-back. Cho Hyun-woo protects the goal.

Suwon FC coach Kim Eun-joong counters with a 4-3-3 card. Ji Dong-won and Andersson Han Kyo-won will be at the forefront of the attack, while Lee Jae-won and Yoon Bit-garam Jung Seung-won will be at the second line. Park Chul-woo, Lee Hyun-yong, and Kim Tae-han and Lee Yong form a four-back, and Ahn Jun-su wears goalie gloves.

Cho Hyun-woo, a candidate for MVP (Best Player Award), returned home on the 21st after two consecutive away games in the Middle East, but will play in two days. Another candidate, Andersson, will also go on a goal hunt.
