The Asian Football Confederation (AFC) judged that the Jeonju World Cup Stadium was in poor ground condition. Jeonbuk Hyundai ended up having a home game at Mir Stadium in Yongin, but the pitch here is not in good condition either.
Jeonbuk lost 0-2 to Sydney FC (Australia) in the first leg of the 2024-25 AFC Champions League 2 (ACL2) quarterfinals at Mir Stadium in Yongin at 7 p.m. on the 6th.
Ahead of the game, AFC ruled Jeonbuk not to host the home game due to the deterioration of the ground lawn at the Jeonju World Cup Stadium.
In the end, Jeonbuk chose Yongin Mir Stadium. Mir Stadium is a two-hour drive from Jeonju City, where its home stadium is located. For Jeonbuk, it was naturally a loss in many ways. Fans also took the burden of having to come a long way on weekdays.
Mir Stadium, which became Jeonbuk's temporary home stadium, was not in good condition. It was different from last year's A-match. At that time, the grass at Mir Stadium was rumored to be in good condition, but now you can check the soil from a distance. The lawn also had different parts. Some even ask if they had to move to play.
Above all, Jeonbuk officials say that the pitch of the Jeonju World Cup Stadium is not in such a bad condition that it moves the stadium to proceed with the game.
Jeonbuk coach Gus Foyet, who is about to play, said, "I think the grass condition of Jeonju World Cup Stadium is good enough, so it's hard to understand that I'm playing in a neutral stadium, but I'll do my best."
"It can be a good excuse to play in a neutral stadium, but I don't want to say it as a reason for defeat," Foye said after the game, but added, "As I said yesterday, I think AFC's decision is a little disappointing. I respect the decision, but it was true that it was somewhat difficult to accept."
AFC reportedly watched the second round of the ACL2 round of 16 against Port FC (Thailand), which ended at Jeonju World Cup Stadium on the 20th of last month, and notified the game's supervisor of "no individual" after receiving a report on the condition of the stadium.
Jeonbuk fans came all the way to Yongin to fill the cheering section on the day. However, the team failed to fully enjoy home advantage and lost the match. 카지노사이트
The second round has become more burdensome for Jeonbuk. Jeonbuk will play the second round of the ACL2 quarterfinals at its home ground in Sydney on Wednesday. To advance to the semifinals, it needs to win by at least three points.
