FC Seoul clinches K League 1 title

Overview

FC Seoul has officially secured the K League 1 championship, marking the club’s seventh overall title and its first league victory since 2016. The club clinched the trophy with five matches remaining in the season following a 1-1 draw against Gangwon FC at the Seoul World Cup Stadium.

With this result, FC Seoul holds 67 points, maintaining a 16-point lead over second-place Ulsan HD, who also drew their recent match against the Pohang Steelers. The championship also guarantees the club qualification for the AFC Champions League.

Under the leadership of head coach Kim Gi-dong, who took charge in 2024, the team demonstrated dominant form throughout the campaign, recording the league's strongest offense with 61 goals and the most resilient defense with 29 goals conceded. Key contributors to the title run include striker Patryk Klimala, who has recorded 16 goals, and Moon Seon-min, who scored in the decisive match against Gangwon. Klimala is currently tied for the league’s top scorer award with Ulsan’s Yago Cariello.
