Seoul will play Ulsan in the fourth round of the final round of the 「Hana Bank K League 1 2024」 at Seoul World Cup Stadium at 2 p.m. on the 10th. In the last home game of this season, he will challenge for two spots.
Seoul is dreaming of surpassing 500,000 spectators (since the tally of paid spectators) for the first time in K League 1 history. Seoul has accumulated 463,803 spectators so far. Seoul broke the record for the most spectators in the K-League in a single season last year in 17 home games this season. There are now 36,197 people left until 500,000 people. First of all, the number of reservations alone exceeded 30,000. We are interested in whether we can fill 6,000 people through on-site sales.
Seoul is aiming to return to the Asian Champions League (ACL) for the first time in five years since 2019. Seoul is in fourth place with 54 points. The K-League has 2.5 ACLE (elite) tickets and one ACL 2 (second division), a sub-competition.
Ulsan won one ACLE ticket with its third consecutive K League 1 victory. There are 1.5 chapters left. However, there are many variables, so there is no 'confirmed' until the end. The ACLE winning team, which includes Ulsan, Pohang, and Gwangju FC, will have one ticket next season. The ACL2 winners, in which Jeonbuk Hyundai is participating, will be eligible to participate in ACLE PO.
As Gimcheon Sangmu cannot play in the ACL, Seoul must maintain its fourth place as much as possible to increase its chances of advancing to the ACL.
Ulsan lost all four games in the ACLE in the 2024-2025 season, but confirmed its K-League 1 championship for the third consecutive year in the K-League 1. Ulsan defeated second-place Gangwon FC 2-1 in the last round. Ulsan, which scored 68 points, widened the gap with Gangwon (61 points) to seven points.
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. He tied the year 1996 and 2005 to wear the fifth star on his chest.
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.
The best 11 of both teams has been revealed. Seoul coach Kim Ki-dong will bring up the 4-4-1-1 system. With Ilyuchenko in the one-top, Lingard stands right underneath. Lucas Hwang Do-yoon, Ryu Jae-moon and Cho Young-wook are located in midfield. Kang Sang-woo, Kim Joo-sung and Yazan Choi Joon build a four-back, while Kang Hyun-moo protects the goal.
Ulsan coach Kim Pan-gon, who has been away to Malaysia for many years during the week, brings up a 4-4-2 system. With Joo Min-kyu and Kim Min-hyuk in the two-top, Rubik Son Boyanich Ko Seung-beom and Kang Yoon-gu line up in midfield. Lee Myung-jae, Kim Ki-hee, and Kim Joo-hwan will breathe in the four-back. Cho Hyun-woo will wear goalie gloves.
Park Chu-young was included in the bench list. Nesting in Ulsan in 2022, he has been a playing coach since last year. Park Chu-young officially announces his retirement through an away game in Seoul, which is 'Friendly Team'.
Ulsan has been undefeated in 21 consecutive games (15 wins and 6 draws) against Seoul. He is also dominant with two wins and one draw this season.
