Ulsan will play the sixth game of the Asian Champions League Elite (ACLE) League Stage in the 2025-2026 season against Zelvia at Machida Ondo Stadium in Japan at 7 p.m. on the 9th.
Ulsan, which has played five games in ACLE, is sixth with eight points (2 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss). Machida also has eight points. It was placed fourth in goal difference ahead of Ulsan. FC Seoul and Sanfrecce Hiroshima also have eight points.
If Ulsan wins, it can accelerate its pursuit of the leader, Vissel Kobe (12 points). Ulsan finished its K League 1 journey in ninth place. He lost the final match of the 38th round of the K League against Jeju SK 0-1 at home on the 30th of last month, but succeeded in staying.
Ulsan's season is not over yet. The goal is to achieve a successful finish in the final match with Machida. Ulsan has had major and minor injuries to its main players due to its forced force this season. It is a good thing that Ko Seung-beom and Bojanic, the core of the midfield, have recently returned and helped.
On the Asian stage, Ulsan boasts its best shield. In ACLE, Cho Hyun-woo (2 runs in 2 games) and Moon Jung-in (3 runs in 1 run in 3 games) alternately defend the goal, recording the fewest runs with Sanfrecce Hiroshima among the 12 teams. The strength is a stable goal and defense centered on captain Kim Young-kwon.

Um Won-sang, Heo Yul, Rubik's Son Kim Min-hyuk opened the scoring at ACLE. In order for Ulsan to get three points, it needs the scoring shots of front-line strikers Malkon and Heo Yul.
In Machida, Oh Se-hoon, a former Ulsan Youth, is holding out. On the 25th of last month, he won 3-1 against Gangwon FC in Game 5, and Oh Se-hoon scored his third goal at the time. Na Sang-ho, a former K Leaguer, is also involved. It is an emerging powerhouse in Japan that beat Kobe in the 2025 season to win the Japanese King's Cup.
Acting head coach Noh Sang-rae said, `I feel sorry for the fans as I lost the final league match. The team plans to maximize its organizational power by organizing the match based on the players in the best condition. I will definitely get three points in the away game."
Cho Hyun-woo also had a disappointing season that did not meet fans' expectations. I want to win the final match by joining forces with the players in the match against Machida."
