Suwon FC recruited Indonesian side defender Arhan on the 16th during the 2023 Asian Football Confederation AFC Asian Cup.
Arhan is called the future of Indonesian soccer, and he is a superstar who is more recognized and interested in Indonesia than any other celebrity.
Support for Arhan immediately led to keen interest in Suwon FC. The number of "likes" on the post that Suwon FC officially announced Arhan's recruitment exceeded 160,000, and the account's official followers soared to 140,000 at once. Indonesian comments began to flood every post.
It has the second largest number of followers with 140,000 among the 25 teams in the K-League 1 and 22. It ranks first with Jeonbuk Hyundai 230,000, which once had "Kun Ji-rak" Thailand, and third with "Ansan Greeners" 100,000, which recruited "Asnawe Mangalam" Thailand.
Suwon FC, which did not have many SNS followers before, quickly rose to one of the most popular clubs in the K League with the "Arhan Effect" on its back.
Meanwhile, Arhan's stock price is soaring further through this Asian Cup. Arhan, who played full-time in all three of Indonesia's group matches, helped Sandy Walsh to chase in the third Group D match against Japan on the 24th with a long throw-in that reached just in front of the goal in the second half of extra time.
Indonesia, which finished the group stage with one win and two losses 3 points, is waiting to go to the wild card tournament given to the top four teams among the third-place teams in each group. 안전놀이터
