Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors FC (Chairman Lee Do-hyun, hereinafter Jeonbuk Hyundai) will welcome fans at home after a month, ending consecutive away games and a break.
Jeonbuk Hyundai will play against Gangwon FC in the K League 1 Round 23 at Jeonju World Cup Stadium on the evening of the 23rd at 7:30 p.m.
The match on this day will draw a lot of attention as the protagonists who staged dramatic games in the previous K League 1 Round 22, with Jeonbuk Hyundai overturning a 2-0 deficit to win 3-2 and Gangwon FC drawing 2-2.
In particular, Jeonbuk Hyundai, which has played 11 home games in the K League 1 this season, recording a cumulative attendance of 194,805, is on the verge of surpassing 200,000 spectators in this match.
This achievement signifies the team's upward trend this season and the increasing support from fans, setting a record for the shortest time (12 games) to reach 200,000 spectators since the actual count began in 2012.
Despite being a weekday game as of the morning of the 21st, general ticket sales excluding season tickets have already exceeded 8,000, indicating that the home attendance of 200,000 will likely be easily achieved.
Moreover, Jeonbuk Hyundai, who has not tasted defeat since the match against Pohang on March 16, has been on an unbeaten streak for over 130 days and will face the challenge of extending it to 19 games against Gangwon.
The match ball for this game will be delivered by 'Enbuki,' who became a family with the guardian through adoption by Jeonbuk Hyundai fans after being found at Wanju Public Exercise Ground in May.
Jeonbuk Hyundai plans to install eight water cannons in the N section on the scorching day of the 23rd to cool down the fans.
Before the game, an award ceremony will be held for Geus Forte, who was selected as the 'Coach of the Month' for the second consecutive month following last month, and for Compañía, who won the 'Player of the Month' award for June.
Additionally, a MOU signing ceremony with Jeonbuk Culture and Tourism Foundation will take place, along with a Taekwondo performance, and performances such as a large drum and a victory lap will be staged during halftime.
