FC Seoul, led by head coach Kim Ki-dong, will play a home game against Daegu FC 'Hana Bank K League 1 2025' at Seoul World Cup Stadium on the 29th.
It will be the first match since the break of the A-match in March. Seoul is ranked fourth with two wins, two draws and one loss (8 points) in the previous five games. He lost to Jeju SK 0-2 in the opening game, but has been undefeated in four games since then. Against this, Daegu (2 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses) ranked fifth. After losing the opening three games, it has slowed down to two consecutive losses.
One of the things that draws attention on this day is grass. Seoul will play its first home game since the third round match against Kimcheon Sangmu on the 3rd. The grass controversy arose in the game. Coach Kim Ki-dong said, `This issue has been raised since the first round. Not only Sangam, but other stadiums, too. The players are in danger because the ground is frozen due to the cold weather. It is being damaged quickly because the grass is not settled. The players are not performing well either. Jesse Lingard even got hurt while running alone. I think I need to think about the league schedule. I don't care if the opening is in January or February. However, it doesn't matter if it's heated like Europe or if it's good as long as it's grass.'
Lingard, who has more than 9 million followers, raised the grass condition of the Seoul World Cup Stadium through his personal SNS (social network service). It was an international disgrace. Eventually, the Seoul Metropolitan Facilities Management Corporation held an emergency meeting on the 5th to resolve the stadium lawn problem presided over by the chairman. Chairman Han Kook-young suggested that we consider introducing the stadium's heating system and playing in a third stadium such as Hyochang Stadium. However, it sparked strong opposition from Seoul fans. The guardian god said on social media that 'We hope for an early resolution'
The Seoul Metropolitan Government and the Seoul Metropolitan Facilities Management Corporation moved. First of all, some of the grass is replaced with hybrid grass, and the soil and sowing work to increase the density is urgently carried out. This year, it plans to invest 3.3 billion won, three times higher than last year (1.1 billion won), to secure sufficient grass replacement volume and introduce advanced machines to help grow grass. The plan is to maintain the grass condition where the players can perform at their best.
Ahead of the match against Daegu, an official from the Seoul club said "The Seoul Metropolitan Government and the Seoul Metropolitan Facilities Management Corporation are making great efforts to solve the grass problem. He works hard day and night. It seems that they are paying more attention to the recent temperature difference."
