'K League's pride' Gwangju FC's K League 1 schedule has been adjusted again.

The Korea Professional Football Federation announced on the 24th that it will change the schedule for the FC Seoul-Gwangju match in the 19th round of the K-League due to Gwangju's participation in the quarterfinals of the Asian Champions League (ACLE) in the 2024-2025 season.

The Seoul-Gwangju match was scheduled to be held at 2 p.m. on the 20th, but was moved up by one day to 7:30 p.m. on the 19th. The venue is the same as Seoul 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. He lost 0-2 to Kobe in the first away game on the 5th of last month, but a week later, he won the second half 2-0 on the 12th at his home ground, 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 the 25th.
