The real war begins between the first division team trying to stay and the second division team trying to go up.
Professional football in the 2024 season is slowly coming to an end.
FC Anyang, the winner of the K League 2 (second division), succeeded in going straight to the first division, and Incheon United of the K League 2 (first division) was confirmed to be directly demoted to the bottom.
The formation of the K-League 1 and 2 in 2025 has not been completed yet. Up to two more teams can trade leagues depending on the results of the promotion and playoffs.
In the K-League, which is under the promotion system, the lowest team in K-League 1 and the winner of K-League 2 will be directly demoted and promoted.
The 11th-ranked team in the K-League 1 will then have the second-ranked team in the K-League 2, and the 10th-ranked team in the K-League will have a promotion PO with the team that survived the playoff between the 3rd, 4th, and 5th-ranked teams in the K-League.
K League 2 wrapped up the regular league on the 9th, and all final rankings were decided.
As a result, Busan I’Park, ranked fifth in the K League 2, and Jeonnam Dragons, ranked fourth, will play a semi-PO at Gwangyang Football Stadium at 7 p.m. on the 21st.
The winner will continue his PO schedule with the third place in the K League 2 at Mokdong Stadium at 2 p.m. on the 24th.
In both games, after the regular-time draw, the team with the higher rank in the regular league will be the winner without extra time.
After that, the promotion or relegation team will be finalized with one promotion PO match between 11th place in the K League 1 and 2nd place in the K League 2 Chungnam Asan, and two promotion PO matches between 10th place in the K League 1 and the winner of the K League 2 PO.
In the K League 1, Jeonbuk Hyundai ranks 10th with 41 points and Daegu FC ranks 11th with 40 points.
Jeonbuk will face Gwangju FC (Wonjeong) and Daegu Incheon FC (Home), respectively, in the final exhibition to be held on the 24th. 안전놀이터
The first round of the promotion PO, which will be held at home and away, will be held at the K League 2 home stadium on November 28, and the second round will be held at the K League 1 home stadium on December 1.
However, Jeonbuk will play its first match on December 1 and the second match on December 8. Jeonbuk will play Cebu FC (Philippines) in the group league of the 2024-25 Asian Football Confederation Champions League (ACL2).
As a result, this year’s promotion and promotion war has been going on for 18 days from Nov. 21 to Dec. 8. Last year, the semi-PO started on Nov. 29 and the promotion and promotion POs were held on Dec. 6 and 9.
