The draw ceremony for the '2025 Hana Bank Korea Cup' from the quarterfinals to the finals was held at 2 p.m. on the 11th at the soccer center in Jongno-gu, Seoul. The match drawing ceremony was broadcast live on YouTube 'KFATV LIVE'.
A total of 58 teams (12 K League 1 teams, 14 K League 2 teams, 14 K3 League teams, 10 K4 League teams, and 8 K5 League teams) participated in this year's Korea Cup. With the first to third rounds and the round of 16, 16 K-League teams (Gangwon FC, Jeonbuk Hyundai, Daegu FC, FC Seoul, Gwangju FC, Ulsan HD) and two K-League 2 teams (Gimpo FC, Bucheon FC) are continuing the championship race.
The most eye-catching matchup among the quarterfinals is also the meeting between Seoul and Jeonbuk. In the K League 1, the two teams, who are also playing a rivalry called the 「Legendary Match」, will face off for the first time since the 2022 final (then FA Cup) in the Korea Cup. At that time, Jeonbuk beat Seoul to the top of the tournament. Seoul won twice in 1998, 2015, and Jeonbuk won five times in 2000, 2003, 2005, 2020, and 2022. If Jeonbuk lifts the trophy this time, it will be on par with the most winning team, Pohang Steelers (6 times).
Gwangju, which achieved the club's best performance by reaching the semi-finals last year, and Ulsan, the runner-up team last year, will face off once again following last year's semi-finals. At that time, Ulsan won 1-0 in the away game of the first game and drew 2-2 in the home game of the second game, beating Gwangju with a 3-2 aggregate score to reach the final.
Daegu, the winner of the 2018 tournament, will face Gangwon at home. The last time the two teams met was in the semi-finals of the 2021 tournament, with Daegu finishing second with a 1-0 victory over Gangwon. Gangwon's best performance was to advance to the semifinals at that time.
Gimpo and Bucheon, the only K-League 2 teams, will face off coincidentally. Both Gimpo and Bucheon showed 'Giant Killing' to overwhelm Pohang and Gimcheon Sangmu (K League 1) in the round of 16, respectively.
The quarterfinals will be held on July 2 as a single round, just like the previous round. The winner of the Gwangju-Ulsan match will meet the winner of the Gimpo-Bucheon match, and the winning team of the Seoul-Jeonbuk match will meet the winning team of the Daegu-Gangwon match in the semifinals.
The semi-finals will be held on August 20 and August 27 in a home-and-away manner, and the final will be held on December 6.
