The FA Cup is a stage to determine the king of Korean soccer, covering both professionals and amateurs. Last year, Jeonbuk Hyundai climbed to the top of the FA Cup, leaving behind the frustration of 6 consecutive K-League losses.

After the match between Korea and Uruguay, the A-match break came to an end. While the K-League resumes this weekend, the FA Cup will appear first. Professional teams jump into the FA Cup.

Thirteen teams from K League 2 will join the second round of the ‘2023 Hana One Q FA Cup’ first. Round 2 will be held on the 29th and 30th. The biggest attraction of the FA Cup is the ticket to the Asian Champions League (ACL). The biggest attraction is, of course, the unexpected. Two years ago, Jeonnam Dragons became the first team in the second division to win the FA Cup, making headlines. Amateur teams that catch pros come out every year.

The FA Cup is a ‘guillotine match’ until the final, so losing is an elimination. You should also have good luck. The bloodiest battle in the second round was the clash between FC Anyang and Busan I’Park, and Seoul E-Land and Bucheon FC. It’s ironic fate. Only 4 teams competed against each other.

Anyang and Busan have strong momentum in the early stages of this season. Anyang is in 3rd place in the K-League 2 with 2 wins and 2 draws (8 points), while Busan, which has played one less game, is in 4th place with 2 wins and 1 draw (7 points). Anyang was frustrated at the threshold of promotion to the first division last year. Busan, which stayed in 10th place last season, transformed into a completely different team this season after extensive improvement in its constitution. 메이저놀이터

Bucheon (9 points, 3 wins and 1 loss), which is leading the K-League 2, is determined to continue its rise in the FA Cup as well. With 1 draw and 2 losses (1 point), Seoul E-Land desperately needs its first win of the season.

The 8 K-League Division 1 teams will join from the 3rd round on the 12th of next month. Daejeon Hana Citizen and Gwangju FC, which are driving a ‘frenzy’ as promoted teams, are waiting for their opponents, including FC Seoul, which is running second this season. In addition, K-League champions Ulsan Hyundai, Jeonbuk, Pohang Steelers, and Incheon United, who are participating in the ACL this season, will participate from the round of 16 in the fourth round of May.
