According to the Gwangju club on the 28th, tickets for the match between Gwangju and Seoul in the first round of Hana Bank K League 1 2024 at the Gwangju Football Stadium on the 2nd of next month were sold out within 2 minutes and 30 seconds of the reservation. The Gwangju Football Stadium currently accommodates about 7,700 people. 토토사이트넷
The club believes that last season's good performance, relations with FC Seoul, and the "Lyngaard effect" all influenced this success.
Gwangju, led by head coach Lee Jung-hyo, ranked third last season, the highest in the club's history, and also won a ticket to the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Champions League (ACL) playoffs.
Kim Ki-dong and Lee Jung-hyo, the new head coaches of Seoul, are considered representative strategists of the league. When the two teams have a showdown, there is always a fierce battle of resourcefulness.
The two teams that stand out from the leadership of the head coach are considered to be the most likely to be in the top ranks among the rest of the teams except Ulsan HD and Jeonbuk Hyundai, which are considered "two powers."
Above all, Lingard, a "foreign player of all time" who scored 35 goals in 232 official matches for Manchester United (England), is likely to make his K-League debut through this match
When the news of his trip to the K-League was first announced, it was hard to believe that the suspicion of "fake news" was deeper, but Lingard, who really moved to the Korean stage, is focusing on adapting to the team.
Coach Kim Ki-dong avoided giving a definite answer on whether Lingard will play in the opening media day on the 26th. "I'm taking a cautious approach because I'm not (Lingard's) body yet," he said.
Ulsan, which is aiming for its third consecutive K-League 13 title, is also smiling at the success of the opening game.
According to the Ulsan club, more than 20,000 tickets were also sold in the opening match of the "East Coast Derby" against the Pohang Steelers at Ulsan Munsu Stadium in the March 1 Independence Movement within an hour of booking.
Ulsan expects to attract the largest number of spectators this time, following last year's opening match against Jeonbuk (28,73).
Ulsan plans to provide a variety of attractions in the opening game through collaboration with the Whale Culture Foundation, where local celebrities belong. The string group "Luche Art Troupe" and the B-boy team "Posh Crew" will perform inside and outside the ground, respectively.
