A strong journey of 14 teams to advance to the K-League 1 begins, and the door to the K-League 2 will open in 2025. Hana Bank's K-League 2 2025 will open on Tuesday. K-League 2, which was held under an odd-numbered system last year, will be reorganized into 14 teams with the addition of Hwaseong this season, and will have a long run of 39 rounds without any resting teams in each round. This is a snapshot of the opening round in which 14 teams aspiring to be promoted to the same title will debut.
Attention is drawn to the starting point between Incheon and Suwon, the "two strongest teams." The two teams are considered the strongest candidates for promotion this season. After being demoted last season, Incheon will play its first K-League 2 match against Gyeongnam FC at 2 p.m. on Tuesday at Incheon Football Stadium. In terms of power, Incheon is superior. With the addition of Yoon Jeong-hwan, who won the K-League 1 Coach award last season, Incheon has built up capability to handle both counterattacks and soccer in market share. The opponent team, Gyeongnam Province, dropped to 12th place last season, making a new decision. It appointed Lee Eul-yong. Gyeongnam, which conducted intensive training, indicates that it will not easily back down.
The upcoming showdown is also drawing keen attention as a showdown between the two coaches that shared the myth of making the semi-finals of the 2002 Korea-Japan World Cup. The war of words has already begun. When coach Yoon Jeong-hwan said, "Since it's home, I will score two goals. Will you be okay with that?" Lee Eul-yong said, "Well, will I be able to score a goal? I will not lose easily."
Suwon, which boldly opened its wallet throughout the season, will meet with the Ansan Greeners at 4:30 p.m. on the 22nd at Ansan Wa Stadium. While Suwon is expected to have an absolute advantage, Ansan is also considered to be better than expected, with foreign players being transfused. In particular, "Suwon Legend" coach Lee Kwan-woo is determined. When Lee said, "I think it will not be easy this year. Suwon is looking forward to promotion, but I don't think it will be easy because Ansan lost in the first game," Suwon manager Byun Sung-hwan responded with a quote from Mike Tyson. "Everyone has a good plan. Until you get it right."
The debut match of Hwaseong coach Cha Du-ri is also drawing attention. Cha took the helm of Hwaseong, a new team that entered the K League 2 this season. As a star player during his playing days, he will make his debut to K League fans as a leader. Hwaseong will have a showdown with Seongnam FC at 2 p.m. on Sunday at Tancheon Stadium. Hwaseong is said to be the team that is the lowest among the 14 teams in terms of objective power, but Cha is committed to catching his older brothers by banking on his "energy." Seongnam, which was at the bottom of the previous season, spent a harsh winter saying, "There is nowhere to go down." Cha and Seongnam coach Jeon Kyung-joon had a chance to work together as coaching staff at the 2018 World Cup in Russia.
In addition, the showdown between E-Land of Seoul and Asan of South Chungcheong Province, which made it to the playoffs side by side last season, is considered the best big match of the season. The two teams will clash at Mokdong Stadium at 4:30 p.m. on Sunday. E-Land, which is considered the "two strongest teams" in Incheon and Suwon, and Asan of South Chungcheong Province, have built more than last season's strength, which is expected to result in fierce competition. 카지노
In addition, the Jeonnam Dragons, who recruited players as stormy as Suwon, will clash with Cheonan City at 2 p.m. on Tuesday at Cheonan Stadium, and Busan I-Park, one of the candidates for promotion, will clash with Gimpo FC at 4:30 p.m. on Tuesday at Busan Gudeok Stadium. Bucheon coach Lee Young-min and Chungbuk Cheongju coach Kwon Oh-kyu will have a showdown at 4:30 p.m. on Sunday at Bucheon Stadium.
