The Korea Professional Football Federation announced on the 24th that it will change the schedule of the 10th round of the K-League 1 Gwangju-Daegu FC due to Gwangju's advance to the quarterfinals of the Asian Champions League (ACLE) in the 2024-2025 season.
The Gwangju-Daegu match was scheduled to be held at 4:30 p.m. on April 26, but was moved up to 7:30 p.m. on April 9. The venue is the same as Gwangju World Cup Stadium.
Starting this year, the Professional Football Federation can change its schedule ex officio even without the consent of the other team if it is necessary to adjust the game schedule to support clubs participating in international competitions such as ACL and FIFA Club World Cup. This is to strengthen the competitiveness of clubs participating in international competitions as well as to resolve instability in the league schedule.
Gwangju directed 'miracle drama' against J-League's strongest Vissel Kobe in the round of 16 ACLE. Although he lost 0-2 to Kobe in the first away game on the 5th, he won the second half 2-0 on the 12th at home, bringing the game back to square one.
Gwangju produced a theater win in the 13th minute of the second half of extra time. Asani, the leading goaltender, scored the winning goal and passed the gate to the round of 16 with a 3-2 total victory in the first and second games. Gwangju is the first team in the K-League to reach the quarterfinals in the ACL stage.
Gwangju will play Saudi Arabia's strongest Al Hilal in the ACLE quarterfinals on April 25.
