Daegu FC officially announced on the club's SNS (social network service) channel on the 29th that it will hold a fan meeting at Daegu Citizens' Gymnasium at 7 p.m. on the 31st. There is a time to start the meeting, and there is no time to end it. It's really a meeting of the end. According to the club, Cho Kwang-rae, CEO of the club, and Kim Byung-soo, head coach, will be present at the meeting.
It's a cliffhanger. Daegu recorded 3 wins, 5 draws, and 16 losses (14 points) in 24 games of 'Hana Bank K League 1 2025" It remains at the bottom of the 12 teams. The gap with 11th-ranked Suwon FC (25 points) widened to 11 points. If this is the case, Daegu is likely to be demoted to the K League 2 (second division) next season. The bottom of this season's K League 1 will be automatically demoted to the second division of next season. The 10th to 11th places in the K League will decide their fate through the promotion and playoffs (PO).
Daegu managed to stay at the end of the promotion PO last season. In the opening three games of this season, he had two wins and one draw. That was it. Daegu has been mired in a long, long slump. Coach Park Chang-hyun stepped down due to poor performance. In the game under acting coach Seo Dong-won, the team failed to turn the tables. Coach Kim Byung-soo stepped up as the new head coach, but he is still at the bottom. Daegu recorded only three draws and five losses under coach Kim.
Fans were furious. At the home game against the Pohang Steelers at Daegu iM Bank PARK on the 27th, he put the blame on it. The result of patience is the end of betrayal, the front stands on the sidelines, the team wanders, the Daegu soccer team can't stand the heat', There were phrases such as `No unconditional support.' After kick-off, they boycotted cheering for about three minutes.
The bitter criticism from home fans was also useless. Daegu bowed to Pohang 0-1 on the same day, allowing Pohang to score a penalty kick. He failed to win in 13 consecutive games. The fans' patience has reached its limit. Immediately after the game, the "Wake up, Daegu" 'Anticole' erupted. When the team headed to the stands to greet, boos poured out. After the game, some fans remained on the soccer field and expressed anger toward the club. Some of the team officials came out and apologized "I'm sorry". In the end, a Daegu official shed tears. The confrontation between the fans and the club lasted about three hours. At the meeting, the club and fans promised a meeting and disbanded. Daegu and fans will hold a meeting as promised. Attention is drawn to the fans' questions and the club's answers.
