Jeonbuk Hyundai, leading the K League 1, achieved its first-ever 'Jeonju World Cup Stadium sellout.' With a very positive atmosphere right before meeting 'rival' Ulsan Hyundai, they are determined to carry this momentum into victory.

Jeonbuk Hyundai will face Ulsan Hyundai in the Hana Bank K League 1 2025 Round 17 at Jeonju World Cup Stadium on the 31st.

On the 27th, Jeonbuk Hyundai reclaimed the top spot in the league by crushing Daegu FC 4-0. Detailed statistics are also impressive. They recorded the most goals (24 goals) and the fewest goals allowed (11 goals), with various indicators being perfect.

Jeonbuk Hyundai has recorded only 2 losses (9 wins, 5 draws) in 16 games this season.

Having forgotten the taste of defeat for two months since the match against Pohang Steelers on March 16, Jeonbuk Hyundai has gone undefeated in 12 K League matches (8 wins, 4 draws) and remains unbeaten in 14 official matches, including the Korea Cup (10 wins, 4 draws), showcasing an unstoppable momentum. Gus Poyet, a Premier League alumnus, is establishing his style.

Jeonbuk Hyundai, which is achieving good results, saw players Jeon Jin-woo, Kim Jin-kyu, Park Jin-seop selected for the A national team and Kang Sang-yoon for the U23 national team.

In particular, Jeon Jin-woo had the honor of being named the Most Valuable Player (MVP) for the previous Round 16. Jeon Jin-woo recorded 1 goal and 1 assist in the match against Daegu FC at Daegu iM Bank PARK on the 27th, leading Jeonbuk to a 4-0 victory.

He broke through the opposing defense with a dribble and hit the net with a precise shot in the 20th minute of the second half. In the 26th minute of the second half, he assisted Lee Young-jae's goal. The 'Best Team' for Round 16 also belonged to Jeonbuk Hyundai.

As they reclaim the top spot in the league, fans are intensely focused on the first 'Hyundai Derby.' Jeonbuk Hyundai has set its first sellout record.

This is the first time since the club's founding. Given Jeonbuk's explosive offensive display against Daegu combined with the rivalry match, fans' attention is pouring in.

Particularly, Jeonbuk is not only excelling in offense but also effectively blocking opponents' attacks. They finished the match against Daegu with no goals conceded and have not allowed many goals recently. Therefore, their confidence in performance has grown.

Ulsan cannot be easily crushed either. They secured a thrilling comeback victory against Gimcheon and recorded a draw in the away match against Gwangju. It is highly likely they will reflect on their thrilling comeback victory against Gimcheon as they prepare for the match against Jeonbuk.

Meanwhile, Jeonbuk Hyundai announced that as of noon on the 29th, all 32,560 available seats (including season tickets) have been sold out.

The club noted, 'Over 27,000 general tickets have been sold. Considering the fans with season tickets, it is estimated that around 32,000 spectators will gather for the match against Ulsan.'

Ticket sales for this match, which began on the 26th, saw all first-floor seats sell out within a day. All tickets were sold out within three days.

Jeonbuk Hyundai is taking measures to ensure that fans can reach the stadium easily. They will increase the number of '1994 buses' to 15, and the Jeonbuk Regional Environmental Agency, Jeonbuk Green Environment Supporting Center, and Jeonbuk Green Business Council will each support 5 hydrogen electric buses for free to transport fans from Jeonju Station and Iksan Station to Jeonju World Cup Stadium.

A club official said, 'We expect the Jeonbuk Hyundai players to draw strength from the fans' support.'
