Ulsan HD is on its journey to the Korea Cup.

Ulsan will play Incheon United of the K League 2 at Munsu Football Stadium at 7 p.m. on the 14th in the round of 16 of the 2025 Hana Bank Korea Cup. This is Ulsan's first match at the Korea Cup this season, which is ranked third with 7 wins, 3 draws and 5 losses and 24 points in K League 1.

Ulsan won the Korea Cup for the first time since its foundation in 2017. He will try again to recapture the trophy for the first time in eight years. There was a lot of regret last season. Ulsan advanced to the final by beating Gyeongnam FC, Incheon FC, and Gwangju FC in the Korea Cup. However, in the final of the Pohang Steelers and the Korea Cup for the first time in history, they lost 1-3 after extra time.




Ulsan is slowly gaining momentum with three undefeated matches (two wins and one draw) in the league. In particular, in the match between Pohang (1-1 draw) on the 5th and Jeju SK (2-1 win) on the 11th, gatekeeper Cho Hyun-woo gave the team a valuable point with his amazing penalty save in the second half of the game. He has played in 11 league games this season and is responsible for the back door with nine runs and five clean sheets.

However, it is not an easy journey. Incheon, which Ulsan faces, fell to the second part of this season, but it has maintained its first part of last season. He has 22 points and 28 points in 11 games this season, leading the league in a landslide.

Ulsan's firepower is on fire little by little. Eric (5 goals) scored the winning goal in the match against Jeju by finishing Ko Seung-bum's header with a shot from the gate. Rubik'sson (1 goal, 2 assists) also scored his first goal against Jeju. After receiving Kim Young-kwon's lobbing pass, he hit the point with a left-footed shot past the defender at the opponent's door.




Ulsan has a tight schedule during the week and weekend ahead of the FIFA Club World Cup next month. On the 17th after the match against Incheon, he will go on an away trip to Gangwon FC. Through partial rotation, the company plans to improve its condition mainly by players who usually play less time or have recovered from injuries.

Coach Kim Pan-gon said, `I'm regaining my champion status. Still, there is a long way to go. I'll whip myself first. In the meantime, Ulsan fans have been hurt by their pride. I want to get rid of that disappointment" he said.
