Jeonbuk Hyundai will take the field for the first game of the K League 1 second half after finishing the 2026 North Central American FIFA World Cup break.
On the 4th, at 7:30 p.m., Jeonju World Cup Stadium (Jeonju Castle), Jeonbuk Hyundai will play against Gangwon FC in the 16th round of the Hana Bank K League 1 2026 home game.
This game is not only the first league match after the World Cup break but also holds special significance as it incorporates the concept of the month of patriotism, which could not be observed during the June break.
On this day, Jeonbuk Hyundai will invite ten veterans of the 6.25 Korean War to the stadium to express gratitude and respect, welcoming the heroes who dedicated themselves to the nation through player encouragement and ceremonies before the game.
Furthermore, a donation ceremony will be held, where the proceeds of 10 million won from the Jeonbuk Hyundai N team's home game on Memorial Day, June 6, will be handed over to the Jeonbuk East Veterans Affairs Office.
The donation aims to extend the meaning of patriotism beyond a one-time event and continue as a social contribution activity in collaboration with the local community.
The team made the most of the World Cup break. Jeonbuk Hyundai conducted a mini training camp in Yangsan, improving their fitness and organization, and solidifying tactics and teamwork for a comeback in the second half.
Head coach Jung Joong-yong and the coaching staff, along with the players, have completed all preparations for the league resumption through intense training, expecting this training camp to be a clear momentum for a second-half resurgence.
There is also good news awaited by the fans. Center-back Park Ji-soo, who had been sidelined due to a long-term injury, has finally recovered and returned to the field.
Park Ji-soo successfully completed the Yangsan training camp, sharpening his game sense, and is ready to play in the upcoming match against Gangwon, having made it to the squad list.
Additionally, Jeonbuk Hyundai reinforced their attacking line by signing Lithuanian national team forward Gytis Paulauskas (27 years old, FW, 196cm, 86kg) on a 6-month loan from Jeju SK.
Standing at 196cm, Gytis is a forward known for his excellent aerial ability and post-play dominance.
Having been called up to the Lithuanian A national team in 2020, Gytis has consistently performed for the national team and gained experience in various European leagues such as Lithuania, Albania, and Ukraine, mastering diverse football styles.
Jeonbuk Hyundai's General Manager Lee Do-hyun stated, "During the long World Cup break, the entire team has united to showcase an exciting and winning style of football to the fans," adding, "Especially for this meaningful home game that recalls the spirit of patriotism, we will do our best to provide both the joy of victory and emotional moments to the fans who visit Jeonju Castle."
