FC Seoul's all-weather striker Cho Young-wook changed his jersey number to 9.
Seoul released its squad number for the 2025 season on its official SNS on the 9th. The number that stands out the most is number 9. Cho Young-wook, who played as a side striker with 32 times in the last 2024 season, chose No. 9, the symbol of a striker, as he is likely to play as a front-line striker in the upcoming season.
New players this winter chose familiar numbers. 'Hardwalker Midfielder' Jung Seung-won will wear the No. 7 jersey. He wore 10 times at Suwon Samsung and 7 times at Suwon FC last season and shot 'Career High'. Kim Jin-soo picked No. 22 and Moon Sun-min picked No. 27 while veteran center back Lee Do-han wore No. 20 and guarded the back door.
Seoul Youth Samuel, the K-League's first home ground player, chose No. 28 with the registration name Barto. Son Seung-beom, who was previously No. 28, moved his number to No. 14. Lucas, who played 19 times last season, moved to 77, and rookie Kang Joo-hyuk wore 19.
'Confidence Captain' Lingard (No. 10), Ki Sung-yueng (No. 6), Yazan (No. 5), Lee Sang-min (No. 4), Baek Jong-beom (No. 1), Lee Seung-mo (No. 8), Kang Sung-jin (No. 11), Choi Jun (No. 16), Kim Jin-ya (No. 17), Ryu Jae-moon (No. 29), Kim Joo-sung (No. 30), Kang Hyun-moo (No. 31), and Hwang Do-yoon (No. 41) kept their existing numbers.
Number 13 is left blank. Seoul permanently vacated No. 13 to honor the contribution of the retired 'One Clubman Legend' last year.
Seoul, which is in the final stages of quenching in Kagoshima, Japan, will play the opening game of the K League 1 in Jeju on the 15th.
