Soccer Craze







The Korea Professional Football League (K-League) is South Korea's only fully professional association football league. At the top of the South Korean football league system, it is the country's highest and most prestigious level of football competition currently contested by 16 clubs.








At present the K-League is the only professional league in Korea. It contains sixteen member clubs.
Below the level of the K-League there is the National League, a closed semi-professional/amateur league with fifteen clubs, established in 2003. The third level of football in Korea is the Challengers League.





There is, at present, no official system of promotion and relegation between any of the three leagues. However, beginning in 2006, the champions of the National League had been eligible for promotion to the K-League provided they had met certain criteria.





It has always been a wonderful match, when taking place on weekends or on some special holidays in Seoul. I must say Korean people love soccer and they are crazy for it. During my stay in Korea i have a number of opportunities to watch Soccer games. and every time i had  a more fun. the support of the different teams from far and near of Korea made it more attractive and put  lots of fun in it. 




Soccer match, FC Seoul vs Suwon, meeting time and place:
Tomorrow Saturday at 6:00 pm, 
World cup stadium station line 6, exit 1,


It was more than fun to watch this soccer game with my Seoul International students. Currently Korean People Love soccer as much as they love Baseball especially after winning the Silver medal in 2012 London Olympics. So the stadium was full of spectators with more enthusiasm and energy.


 This game was the first game played in Korea after the London Olympics and was between two tough teams of Korea Seoul and Suwon. Many international players were playing from both sides. So it attracted many people including foreigners. I had a great fun with all friends during all this time and enjoyed the moments in real ways. 
In spite of the fact that Suwon won this game 2-0 but it was a lovely game. Thanks to Seoul global center for this opportunity.
