Ulsan HD Kim Young-kwon, who challenged the FIFA Club World Cup for the third time after the 2013 Morocco Games and the 2015 Japan Games, will challenge the miracle once again.
Ulsan, which will play in the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup as the second-ranked Asian Football Confederation (AFC) club coefficient, left for the United States, the "land of the showdown," through Incheon International Airport's second passenger terminal on the 6th.
Ulsan will be in Group F and will compete with Fluminensee (Brazil), Borussia Dortmund (Germany), and Mamelodi Sundowns (South Africa) for a ticket to the round of 16. Ulsan will play its first match against Mamelodi at Inter & Co Stadium in Orlando on the 18th (Korea time).
As it is the scale of the tournament reminiscent of the FIFA World Cup, the experience of a veteran is more important at times like this. Ulsan is said to have a good harmony between veterans and young players who have been throughout their careers on the national team, including Cho Hyun-woo, Kim Young-kwon, Jung Woo-young and Lee Chung-yong.

In particular, Kim Young-kwon has experience in three World Cups: Brazil in 2014, Russia in 2018, and Qatar in 2022. During the Russian competition, he scored the winning goal that sank "defending champion" Germany, and in the Qatar competition, he scored a valuable equalizer against Portugal, contributing to South Korea's advance to the round of 16.
Kim is committed to continuing Qatar's spirit in the U.S. three years ago. "It is a competition where you can have a good experience," Kim said. "There are many differences from the existing Club World Cup, so it is important how good the results will be in the group stage," he said. "I will communicate as much as possible with coach Kim Pan-gon and the coaching staff how to manage the game."
"My biggest desire is to bring good energy to Qatar. As the World Cup will be held in North, Central and South America next year, I am working with the same mindset as the tournament," he said. "I think a lot about soccer while preparing for the match, but I think I should go crazy this time. Unlike what I have done so far, I need to prepare close to perfection to bring about results." 메이저놀이터

Ulsan is the team that has played the most games in the K-League this season. Asked if he had any difficulties in conditioning, he replied, "We played many games and had to travel long distances to the U.S., but thankfully, the coaching staff is taking great care of us. We are also recovering fast every time thanks to the medical team. I think we will be able to prepare for the game in good physical condition."
