The 17th round of the 2025 K League 1 between Jeonbuk Hyundai and Ulsan HD, which will be held at Jeonju World Cup Stadium on the 31st, will be held in full crowd.

Jeonbuk, the home team, announced on the 29th that all 32,560 tickets for the match against Ulsan were sold. This is the first time that all tickets have been sold since the remodeling of the Jeonju World Cup Stadium in 2022 adjusted the number of seats to the current number (excluding non-discriminatory seats such as viewing limited seats and disabled seats). It is also the first time to play with all the seats in the stadium filled since the foundation of Jeonbuk.

The box office was expected early on. All seats on the first floor were sold out a day after the opening of the ticket reservation on the 26th. Until 12 p.m. on the 29th, general reservations exceeded 27,000. All seats have been filled, including fans who own season tickets. It is the first time in more than 10 years that more than 30,000 spectators have gathered at Jeonju World Cup Stadium since the match against Samsung in Suwon (31,192 people) on July 26, 2015.




The record for the largest number of spectators at Jeonbuk home since the 2012 K-League attendance was 33,706 against FC Seoul on November 6, 2016. However, at that time, the number of seats at the Jeonju World Cup Stadium was 42,000, which was far from sold out.

The recent performance has sparked fan sentiment. Jeonbuk has been undefeated for more than two months since the match against the Pohang Steelers (2-2 draw) on March 16. It has been undefeated (10 wins and 4 draws) in 14 consecutive official matches, including the K League 1 (8 wins and 4 draws) and the Korea Cup (2 wins). In the match against Daegu FC on the 27th, he showed off his peak rise with a 4-0 victory.

Welcome guests also visit Jeonju Castle. Lee Jae-sung, who grew up in Jeonbuk and plays for Mainz in the German Bundesliga, visits the stadium and holds a fan signing event. At halftime, there will be a special performance of the band 'Jannabi'. Jeonbuk will increase the number of '1994 buses' to 15 to support the movement of the stadium. The Jeonbuk Regional Environment Agency, the Jeonbuk Green Environment Support Center, and the Jeonbuk Green Business Council will provide 5 hydrogen electric buses each from Jeonju Station and Iksan Station to Jeonju World Cup Stadium for free. Lee Seung-woo will present 30,000 amino water to the entrance spectators, and 2,000 sun sticks and repair creams will be provided on a first-come, first-served basis at MediPhil.
