Jeonbuk Hyundai is calling the league leaders FC Seoul to their home ground Jeonju World Cup Stadium to set the stage for chasing the top spot.
On August 1st at 7:30 p.m., Jeonbuk Hyundai will face FC Seoul in the 'Hana Bank K League 1 2026' 21st round home game at Jeonju World Cup Stadium (Jeonju Castle).
This match is the 95th 'legendary match' based on K League 1 standards, with Jeonbuk Hyundai holding the upper hand with 39 wins, 26 draws, and 29 losses in their historical record against Seoul.
Currently, Jeonbuk Hyundai is in second place in the league with 33 points, trailing the league leaders FC Seoul by 9 points.
As this is a crucial match that will influence the flow of the competition in the top ranks of the league, Jeonbuk Hyundai is determined to win and reduce the point gap.
Jeonbuk Hyundai has recorded 2 wins, 1 draw, and 2 losses in their last 5 matches, while FC Seoul has 3 wins, 1 draw, and 1 loss.
In the previous round, Jeonbuk Hyundai succeeded in a turnaround by defeating Pohang Steelers 2-0 away, while FC Seoul's upward momentum was halted by a home defeat to Ulsan Hyundai.
Jeonbuk Hyundai secured valuable 3 points in the Pohang match through the opening goal by the newly acquired striker Gytis from Jeju United and an additional goal created by Kim Young-bin's spirited sprint towards the end of the game.
Having suffered a disappointing 0-1 loss due to a late goal in the away match against Seoul in the 7th round, Jeonbuk Hyundai aims for both revenge and chasing the top spot in this home game.
Moreover, Jeonbuk Hyundai plans to provide fans visiting Jeonju Castle with coolness and joy by operating a refreshing 'water cannon' around the N section stands and 'water fountain tunnels' at the E and W section entrance gates during the summer home matches.
This match, being a big K League representative match, is expected to draw a large crowd with many spectators expected to gather as ticket sales begin.
Especially, concerns arise over severe parking congestion and traffic jams for those using private vehicles due to the overlap of the operation hours of the water play area within the World Cup Plaza (closing at 5 p.m.) and the opening hours of the stadium parking lot (4:30 p.m.).
To address this, the club, local government, and related organizations are significantly enhancing public transportation options for the convenience of the fans.
In collaboration with the Jeonbuk Regional Environmental Office, 'hydrogen shuttle buses' to assist fans residing in other areas will operate five each from Jeonju Station and Iksan Station, totaling 10 buses, while '1994 special route buses' for fans coming from within Jeonju city will deploy a total of 12 buses.
Director Lee Dohyun stated, "As this is an important match that will determine the direction of the top ranks competition, the team is preparing their best performance," and added, "Despite the hot weather, we will do our best to repay the fans who come to Jeonju Castle to support the players with a victory."
