The 'Fan Friendly Club Award' is an award given to the club that has performed the most fan-friendly activities by evaluating marketing and fan service. The winning team was selected by adding scores from the 1st judging committee (40%) and the 2nd group vote (40% for reporters and 20% for fans).
Ulsan (96.2 points) also won the 3rd 'Fan Friendly Club Award' in the 2024 season. Ulsan captivated fans by opening a GS25 collaboration convenience store, the club's official pop-up store held in The Hyundai Seoul, and the operation of a CPR experience booth 'CPR Wave'.
As a result, Ulsan ranked first in the first and third K League 1 fan friendly club awards this season, following the first and second rounds.
The Korea Professional Football Federation selected and announced the teams that won the Full Stadium Award, the Plus Stadium Award, the Fan Friendly Club Award and the Green Stadium Award by evaluating the performance of attracting spectators, marketing, and grass management in the 27th-38th round of the K League 1 and the 27th-39th round of the K League 2.

K League 2 'Fan Friendly Club Award' went to FC Anyang (93.6 points). Anyang, which won the K League 2 and will be promoted to the first division next year, has been well-received for its various marketing activities, including fan contact activities such as 'Play-Abo-La', 'Players' Daily Clerk Event' and 'Stamp Tour', operating a pop-up store with three professional teams based in Anyang, and launching a team-only beer 'Sucabati Lager'. Seongnam FC (85.4 points) came in second and Bucheon FC (79.0 points) came in third.
FC Seoul won both the 'Full Stadium Award' given to the club that attracted the largest number of spectators from the 27th to 38th rounds of the K League 1 and the 'Plus Stadium Award' given to the club with the largest number of spectators compared to the previous year.
Seoul recorded the highest average number of spectators among the K League 1 clubs, recording an average of 29,435 spectators in six home games held during the period. This is 18,800 more than the average number of spectators in the 14th to 26th rounds.
