Daegu FC's gatekeeper Oh Seung-hoon (38) will leave the ground where he played for 16 years.

Oh Seung-hoon recently announced his intention to retire from active duty through his social media (SNS). The Daegu club also said in a phone call with Star News on the 5th, "Oh Seung-hoon's contract with Daegu has expired as of December 31st."

Oh Seung-hoon said, "I'm sorry to say something a little heavy," adding, "I'll think a little more about what path I'll take in the future, but I want to stay with soccer and fans in other ways." "I sincerely thank everyone who has supported me so far. I will not forget all the moments we had together," he said.

Oh Seung-hoon played in important last-minute games, including the promotion and playoff against the Jeonnam Dragons last season, helping Daegu stay in the K League 1. However, there was also noise, such as leaving the team without permission in the middle of the season and being disciplined by the club itself. He returned to fill the last-minute gap in the starting lineup, but in the aftermath of the controversy, he chose to retire instead of renewing his contract.

Oh Seung-hoon, who made his professional debut with Tokushima Bortis in the Japanese J-League in 2010, has played in Daegu since 2022 after playing for Daejeon Hana Citizen, Ulsan HD, and Jeju SK. Having played in 153 games in the K-League, he will end his career as a professional player after this season.
