Until now, the "Taegeuk mark" has been the center of the Korean soccer. The success of the K-League has also been determined by the performance of the national team.카지노사이트

Unlike the disastrous failure of the Asian Cup, the K-League set a new record of 3,216,357 spectators (previously 3,011,509) with the final match of the first division left on the 24th. Kwon Oh-gap, president of the Korea Professional Football Federation, once said, "The introduction of the promotion system in 2013 is the secret to its success."

The K-League's promotion and playoff is waiting for you. Starting in 2022, the K-League has increased the number of teams that will be demoted to the second division from a maximum of two to three. This year, Incheon United, the last team, was automatically demoted to the second division, while Jeonbuk Hyundai, ranked 10th, and Daegu FC, ranked 11th, were relegated to the second division. Jeonbuk and Daegu may be in different rankings based on the result of the final match, but the fact that they are competing for the promotion remains unchanged. The two teams will have to have a final showdown between Chungnam Asan, the second team in the second division, and the PO winner (ranked 3rd to 5th), who are dreaming of becoming the first team to remain in the first division.

The biggest concern among fans is whether Jeonbuk, which boasts the most wins (nine times) in the K-League, will be demoted or not. Jeonbuk has ranked No. 1 in this category by spending nearly 20 billion won (approx. In the transfer market last summer, it scooped up high-priced players including Lee Seung-woo, Han Kook-young, and Andrigo to address its poor performance. Despite this, Jeonbuk lost 16 games (10 wins and 11 draws) in the season, surpassing its predecessor, the Jeonbuk Dinos, falling short of its first Final Round B (7th to 12th) drop.

If Jeonbuk is demoted to the second division, it will be an example of the rigor of the promotion system along with Suwon Samsung, which was first demoted to the last place last year. Even if we look at the past cases of promotion POs, there is no guarantee that the first part will survive unconditionally. Excluding 2020, when the promotion PO was not opened due to the relocation of Sangju Sangmu (current Gimcheon Sangmu), the result of 12 confrontations between the first and second parts was exactly 50 to 50. It is comforting that the winning rate of the first part is higher at 75% from 2022, when the promotion PO doubled.

Chungnam Asan, Seoul E-Land FC (3rd), Jeonnam Dragons (4th), and Busan I-Park (5th) took the opportunity in the promotion war of the second part, which was fiercer than ever.

Founded in 2020, South Chungcheong Province Asan and E-Land demonstrate the importance of being a leader. Chungnam Asan won the promotion PO ticket under the guidance of coach Kim Hyun-seok, who has nearly 20 years of coaching experience. The total labor cost at Asan in South Chungcheong Province was around 2.7 billion won (2.7 million U.S. dollars) last year. If unknown players, who barely exceed one tenth of Jeonbuk's labor cost, succeed in promotion for the first time, a soccer fairy tale will be completed.

E-Land, which celebrated its 10th anniversary, has faith in coach Kim Do-kyun, who once led Suwon FC to promotion (2020) and stay (2023). E-Land is determined to win the promotion PO ticket against the semi-PO winner in South Jeolla Province and Busan after being pushed to third place in the final match of the second division. Even if E-Land, which used to stay in the second division every year, succeeds in promotion, it could spark a new wind.

It is the first time that Daegu and South Jeolla Province, which experienced demotion, have secured the promotion PO. Daegu was automatically demoted to 13th place in 2013, but was ranked as the runner-up in the first division thanks to the citizen teamization of the Ansan Mugunghwa, the champion team in 2017. The key to survival is how fast Cesinha, the much-needed troubleshooter, recovers from a rib injury at this unfamiliar stage. South Jeolla Province's best performance was in the PO, which dropped to fourth place in 2021, after falling to the bottom of the second division in 2018.

On the contrary, Busan has to shake off the pain of the weary promotion PO this time. Busan laughed with one win and one draw against Gyeongnam FC in the 2019 promotion PO, but lost all four remaining promotion POs (demoted in 2015 and failed to be promoted in 2018 and 2023).
