Jeonbuk Hyundai is determined to aim for its first trophy of the season with the cheering energy of "Jeonju-sung" with home fans at the Super Cup, the starting point of the 2026 season.

The "K League Super Cup" is a competition between the K League 1 winner and the Korea Cup winner in the previous season, and has been held seven times since the first tournament in 1999 until 2006, and has confirmed its resumption with the "Kupang Play K League Super Cup 2026" in 20 years.

However, this tournament is the same as Jeonbuk Hyundai in both the K League 1 winner and the Korea Cup winner in the previous year, so Daejeon, the second-ranked team in the K League 1, will win the right to participate.

The Super Cup will be played in 90 minutes, and if there is no match during the regular time, the winning team will be decided by a penalty shootout without extra time.

As for the characteristics of the competition's operation, "N seats (north)" are operated as home-only cheering seats, "S seats (south) are operated as Daejeon cheering seats, and other W seats (west) and E seats (east) are operated as "neutral cheering zones." Under the neutral zone operation policy, it is possible to wear uniforms or MD (Merchandise) from other clubs in this zone.
