(Best Eleven)
The Korea Professional Football Federation (hereinafter referred to as the ‘Federation’) announced the list of additional team K -League starters in conjunction with Newcastle United, the first match of the 2025 Kupang Play Series.
Earlier, the Federation announced ‘Fan Eleven’, which has won the most votes for each position, including Han Hyun -seo (Pohang), Overdan (Pohang), Lee Tae -seok (Pohang), Jeon Jin -woo (Jeonbuk), and Cho Hyun -woo (Ulsan).
Based on this, Kim Pan -gon and coach Lee Jung -hyo, who lead the team K -League, selected additional players. The additional starters are currently composed of the best players in each position in the K -League, and considered the detailed position and the allocation by team.
Attackers (FW) were named Sejingya (Daegu) and Mota (Anyang). Sejingya, who has been active as a Daegu signboard for the 10th season, has recently scored a goal shortly after the recent return to injury, and Mota has been winning with more than 10 attack points in the K -League 1 this season, following the K -League 2 goals last season.
Midfielders (MF) were selected by Kim Dong -hyun (Gangwon), Luan (Suwon FC), Lee Chang -min (Jeju), and Hwang Do -yoon (Seoul). Kim Dong -hyun and Luan were nominated for ‘Fan Eleven’, but they were unfortunately eliminated from the fan voting. Hwang Do -yoon, a young Pi Seoul, who was attracting attention as a candidate for the K -League 1 Young Player Award this season with Jeju captain Lee Chang -min, was also selected.
Defender (DF) was named by Kim Young -kwon (Ulsan), Byun Jun -su (Gwangju) and Anton (Daejeon). Ulsan captain Kim Young -kwon will be seasoned with the national team’s center back, and Byun Jun -soo, who recently made his A -match debut, will showcase his skills. Anton is also expected to reveal its presence with strong defense.
Kim Kyung -min (Gwangju) was dropped by goalkeeper (GK). Kim Kyung -min gathered a topic with his first selection of the national team last year, and is also active as a goalkeeper in Gwangju this season.
The team K-League will meet with fans through various events such as fan signing and fan meetups at the K-League-Jutopia Pop-up Store held in the Hyundai Department Store 28 (Monday) to 29th (Tue), two days before the match. Since then, the team K -League and Newcastle will be held at the Suwon World Cup Stadium at 8 pm on Wednesday.
