    Seoul E-Land’s first promotion drama in 10 years?

    In the 2024 season of professional soccer, fans are just as interested in the second division as the first. This is because the promotion wars are more interesting than ever.

    First of all, Suwon Samsung, who dropped to the second division for the first time, is desperately trying to return to the top division, and corporate clubs such as Busan IPark, who missed out on promotion last season, are also fighting for their lives this year. In addition, Suwon Samsung’s loyal supporters have been setting new records for 카지노사이트 K-League 2 box office receipts, with large-scale away support from the start of the season.

    Seoul Eland FC, which is celebrating its 10th anniversary this year, is also in the spotlight. The team hired head coach Kim Do-gyun, who promoted Suwon FC to the top division in 2020, and added midfielder Osmar, who played for FC Seoul, to add weight to the squad.

    It’s still early in the season, but it’s paying off. They caught the ‘big fish’ of Suwon in the second round and are cruising with two wins, one loss, and second place in the league’s mid-table. They also defeated Daejeon Korail on penalties in the Korea Cup and have booked a ‘Seoul Derby’ with FC Seoul in the middle of next month.

    Seoul Eland FC is celebrating its 10th anniversary this year. The launch of the Seoul-based corporate club in 2014 was met with great interest. Seoul Eland FC, which calls Jamsil Olympic Stadium its home, started out in the second division, but since its inaugural year, the team has been well-received for its off-field fan services and the fact that it has had Scottish manager Martin Rennie at the helm since its inception. As a corporate club with ties to the capital city of Seoul, there were high hopes for promotion to the top flight.

    However, Seoul Eland’s fourth-place finish in 2015, their first season, was their best in over a decade. With Martin Rennie at the helm, the team has been led by big names like Park Gun-ha, Kim Byung-soo, and Jung Jung-yong, but they’ve been unable to break out of the mid-to-lower league. However, this year, Seoul Eland FC, who hired Kim Do-gyun, a coach who knows how to get promoted, has made all the preparations for their first ‘escape’ in a decade.

    Seoul Eland FC is celebrating its 10th anniversary with a meaningful matchup. On March 30, the team will play FC Anyang at home, and coincidentally, FC Anyang was the opponent of the team’s first home game on March 29, 2015. To commemorate the 10th anniversary, Seoul Eland FC will be honored with a special ceremony where former national team goalkeeper Kim Young-kwang, a founding member of Seoul Eland FC, will participate in the kickoff.

    “It’s our 10th anniversary, so we’re more determined than ever to get promoted. However, this season, corporate clubs such as Suwon Samsung and Busan IPark are competing for promotion to the First Division, so we want to challenge them by preparing well for each match.”

    “I grew up in a tough overseas experience, but it helped me grow”

    Jung Sang-bin, who is expected to be a key striker for Hwang Sun-hong, 스포츠토토 reflected on the difficult moments after going overseas, but vowed to use the experience to become a better player.

    The South Korean U-22 national team, including Sang-bin, held their final training session on Friday at 7:50 p.m. at the Changwon Football Center Auxiliary Stadium to prepare for their U-23 Asian Cup Regional Qualifier Group B Round 1 match against Qatar at 8 p.m. on Saturday.

    “It’s been a long time since I’ve been with the national team,” said Jung Sang-bin, who joined Hwang Sun-hong after returning from the U.S. on April 4. “I think it’s a very important tournament as it starts the qualification for the Paris Olympics. I will try to start as a team with all the players,” said Hwang Sun-hong Ho.

    After being hailed as a “super rookie” at Suwon Samsung, the Korean athlete has had a bit of a rough patch since his overseas adventure, but he was candid in his reflections on his experiences so far.

    “As everyone knows, after I left Suwon, everything was very difficult,” he said. “I didn’t play much in Switzerland, and there were some injuries, but when I moved to the United States this year, I met good people, got opportunities, and things changed,” he told fans.

    “I have a lot of experiences. I feel a lot from watching the players on the pitch and my brothers on the national team, but it’s really hard to live abroad. It’s hard to live alone and communicate in the language, but I’ve been able to grow a lot because of it,” he said.

    Minnesota United’s Jung Sang-bin is very happy with the MLS in the U.S., where he plays. “I think the MLS is a huge market, not because Lionel Messi is here. Messi’s arrival is a big plus, but I really like the MLS itself, so it wasn’t a big decision.”

    At the start line of the long road to the Paris Olympics, he expressed his desire to play on the “dream stage” of the Olympics.

    “I watched my brothers compete in the Olympics. It’s not an easy competition,” he said, “but it’s a ‘dream stage’ for all athletes. I’m trying very hard to reach that stage as well,” he said.

    “Coach Hwang emphasizes that I play more aggressively. He’s emphasizing more aggressive moves and off-the-ball aspects. I’m trying to work on that,” he said, showing his commitment to becoming a player who fits in with the team.
