Chuncheon Citizen Football Club (Chuncheon) and Gangneung Citizen Football Club (Gangneung) of the K3 League will challenge for back-to-back wins.
Chuncheon, led by Chuncheon native Chung Sun-woo, will host Pocheon Citizen Football Club in the second round of the 2024 K3 League at Songam Sports Town Main Stadium at 2 p.m. on April 16. It will be Chuncheon’s home opener in the league this season. It will be interesting to see if they can break the jinx of not winning a home opener since the K3/K4 leagues merged in 2020. Last year, they drew 2-2 against Pocheon.
Chuncheon’s early momentum is good. After defeating Busan Transportation Corporation 1-0 in the first round of the K3 League, they beat Jeonju Citizens Football Club (K4 League) 2-0 in the first round of the Hana Bank Korea Cup at home. With a clean sheet in two consecutive matches, the team will look to make it three wins in a row this season against 카지노사이트 Pocheon.
For the home opener, the club’s owner, Chuncheon City Mayor Yook Dong-han, as well as Provincial Superintendent of Education Shin Neung-ho, City Mayor Kim Jin-ho, and Lee Kang-gyun, chairman of the city’s Sports Association, will be in attendance. Various prizes such as a 65-inch TV, two cordless vacuum cleaners, two coffee machines, rice, and tissues will also be given to fans through a raffle after the game.
This season, the league is also launching a “Win a CASPER with 2024 Home Game Tickets!” car sweepstakes. All paid tickets sold at the league’s 15 home games this season will be collected and drawn at the final game of the K3 League to win a Casper. The tickets collected by round will be released at each game to attract citizens’ interest. Admission tickets and sweepstakes tickets will be combined into one ticket and priced at 3,000 won for both adults and students.
Gangneung, coached by Gangneung native Kim Do-geun, will take on Paju Min Football Club in the second round of the K3 League at the Gangneung Sports Complex at the same time. It will also be the league’s home opener.
Gangneung lost its first league match against Daejeon Korail FC 0-1, but rebounded with a 4-0 victory over Seoul Jungnang Football Club in the first round of the Hana Bank Korea Cup at home. They will look to make it two wins in a row at home.
Kim has high hopes for the performance of his foreign signings this season. The “Brazilian Samba Trio” of Careca, Elias and Santos have quickly adapted to the team, with Careca and Elias scoring goals in the first round of the Korea Cup.
“The foreign players continue to show good chemistry with the domestic players,” said coach Kim Do-geun, “We must win the home opener and hope that many citizens will come and support us.” Meanwhile, Gangneung is organizing various giveaways for the match. Tickets can be purchased at the venue for 3,000 won on the day of the match.
