Suwon FC will hold a retirement ceremony for Ahn Byung-joon of the club's 'Legend' in the 14th round home game against Daejeon Hana Bank K League 1 2025' at Suwon Stadium at 7 p.m. on the 18th.
This retirement ceremony is a tribute to Ahn Byung-joon's career, who scored a buzzer-beater penalty in the 2020 promotion playoff, at a historical moment that led Suwon FC to step back into the K League 1. Ahn Byung-joon, a third-generation Korean in Japan and a North Korean national team player, joined Suwon FC in 2019 after going through the J-League, and won the K-League 2 MVP and the top scorer with an overwhelming record of 21 goals and 4 assists in 26 games in the 2020 season.
In particular, the retirement ceremony will be held in Daejeon and the game at the request of his fellow 2020 promotion and current Daejeon Hana Citizen member 'Masa'. On this day, the brand day of the Nonghyup Suwon Distribution Center, the official sponsor of Suwon FC, was scheduled. However, for the end of the club legend, the Nonghyup Suwon Distribution Center also adjusted the schedule for major brand day events, helping Ahn Byung-joon's retirement ceremony.

The retirement ceremony will be held before the start of the game, and after the screening of congratulatory video messages from teammates such as Cho Won-hee, Park Min-gyu, and Jung Dae-se, Suwon FC's general manager Choi Soon-ho will deliver the retirement commemorative frame himself. Ahn Byung-joon and his son, Ahn Yong-chan, will then start the festival together, creating a moving scene that symbolizes the past and new beginning as a soccer player.
In addition, a frame delivery ceremony is scheduled to commemorate Suwon FC's vice-captain Lee Jae-won's achievement in 100 K League 1 games and a sponsorship agreement ceremony for the 2025 season between Suwon FC and the Nonghyup Suwon Distribution Center. You can book tickets for the game from Interpark tickets.
