Finally, the showdown between FC Seoul and FC Anyang, which took place in K League 1, will take place from the second game of the season, drawing keen attention from soccer fans.
At 4:30 p.m. on the 22nd, the match between Seoul and Anyang will be held in the second round of the "Hana Bank K League 1 2025" at the Seoul World Cup Stadium.
According to the Seoul club, more than 35,000 people had already booked as of 4 p.m. on the 21st, a day before the game. Among them, about 5,000 seats were sold for Anyang away cheering seats, and the final number of spectators is expected to reach 40,000.
The confrontation between Seoul and Anyang drew attention even before the opening of the season, and for this reason, the problem of the hometown is the biggest.
The predecessor of Seoul is Anyang LG. Anyang LG, one of the most popular K-League clubs, has been using the Seoul World Cup Stadium as its home ground since moving to Seoul in 2004.
Anyang fans protested greatly at the time of the relocation, but they couldn't stop the team from leaving, and after the fans' earnest desire, FC Anyang was founded in 2013 and joined the K-League Challenge (currently K-League 2).
Meanwhile, Anyang fans looked forward to the showdown with Seoul, and Anyang won the K League 2 title last season and succeeded in promotion, and the two teams finally played this season.
Seoul and Anyang previously faced off at the 2017 FA Cup (currently the Korea Cup). In that match, Seoul advanced to the round of 16 by beating Anyang 2-0.
Anyang fans set off flamingos and smoke bombs before kick-off to heighten the heat. Of course, they violated the rule that gunpowder is not allowed in stadiums, and the rule is still in effect today.
However, from Seoul's point of view, he changed his team name to LG Cheetahs while playing a league in Seoul during Lucky Geumseong, and moved back to Seoul, protesting that it was a "return to the old school," not a "transfer of the old school," which is at odds with Anyang's claim.
Meanwhile, a match between Gangwon FC and Pohang Steelers will be held at Songam Sports Town in Chuncheon at 4:30 p.m. on Sunday. Gangwon FC and Pohang FC lost to Daegu FC and Daejeon Hana Citizen in the opening game, respectively.
As such, the two teams are committed to rebound after winning the second round. Gangwon, the runner-up team of last season, is aiming for its first win under the leadership of newly appointed coach Chung Kyung-ho, while Pohang is seeking to overcome three consecutive losses in official matches this season. 메이저사이트
In addition, Jeju SK, Gimcheon Sangmu, and Daegu-Suwon FC will be held on the 22nd, and Daejeon, Ulsan HD, and Jeonbuk Hyundai-Gwangju FC will be held on the 23rd.
