The Korea Professional Football Federation (President Kwon Oh-gap) will introduce the '2025 K-League Official Trading Card' in collaboration with global sports card company PANINI. 'K League Official Trading Card' was launched for the first time in 2023 and attracted attention as the first Panini sports card collection by an Asian professional sports organization, and it was very popular, selling more than 2.5 million packs cumulatively.
'K League Official Trading Card', which will be introduced this year, stimulates fans' desire to collect by actively attempting a new composition compared to the previous one.
First of all, there are a total of 222 cards to be released this time, consisting of K League 1 players 'base card' and 'special card', K League 1 'club card', K League 1 'captain card' composed of former club captains 'maskot card', 'fan art card' and 'legend card'.
In particular, the K League 1 player card included handwritten autographed cards of some players, including Cesinha, Lee Dong-kyung, Matheus, and Choi Chul-soon, adding scarcity and collection value.
The newly introduced 'Fan Art Card' was produced by illustrators BBKei, SUNHO, Kkotun, Kkotun, Jeondro, and Kkotun, known as K-League fans. The card adds to the fun of collection with a puzzle-type design that completes one picture by attaching two sheets side by side.
In addition, 10 cards of legendary players who represented the K League, including Lee Kwan-woo, Kim Young-kwang, and Go Yo-han, as well as active players such as Jeon Jin-woo, Jung Seung-won, and Lee Tae-seok, who performed outstandingly this season, are drawing attention.
There is another reason why the '2025 K League Official Trading Card' is so special. The federation is set to release a K-League board game at the end of this month, which has been linked to the use of 'K-League official trading card'. 'K League Official Trading Card' has expanded the world view to content that can be used for the second time beyond simple collection.
Meanwhile, 'K League Official Trading Card' will be sold at CU convenience stores nationwide from the 24th of this month. Major sales stores can be found through CU's own commerce app 'PocketCU', and the price is 1,500 won based on 1 pack (3 cards) and 18,000 won based on 1 box (12 packs and 36 cards).
