Gwangju FC of the professional soccer K League 1 has completed preparations for its full-fledged appearance by confirming the team's ranking number in the 2026 season.

Gwangju announced the official uniform number of the team that will be together for the 2026 season through a press release on the 6th. In this announcement, the list of players who chose to maintain the existing number and have a sense of stability through number change was revealed together.

First of all, the majority of the main players who took the center stage of the team last season use the existing number as it is. Captain Ahn Young-kyu will keep the defensive line by maintaining No. 6, while vice-captain Choi Kyung-rok (10th) and Shin Chang-moo (40th), as well as Kim Kyung-min (1st) and Lee Min-ki (3rd), will also face the season with constant responsibility with familiar numbers.

There are also eye-catching changes. Veteran midfielder Ju Se-jong signaled a key role for the team, changing his iconic number from No. 80 last season. Ha Seung-woon renewed his determination by choosing No. 9, which contains good memories of his youth representative days, while tall foreign striker Fried Jonsson will wear No. 11 and play on the ground. Kim Jin-ho declared a leap forward and returned to the 27th place he used in the 2024 season.

In addition, Noh Hee-dong (21), Ahn Hyuk-ju (19), Kwon Sung-yoon (22), and Kwak Sung-hoon (15), including Kang Hee-soo (42) and Kim Dong-hwa (23), who changed their numbers to convey the meaning of their college days, were given new numbers. New players such as Park Won-jae (33), Oh Ha-jong (77), and Lee Yoon-sung (71) also chose their personalities.

Gwangju is stepping up preparations for the new season through the second winter training in Namhae, South Gyeongsang Province. The Gwangju team is determined to start with a victory through the opening match of the 2026 season against Jeju SK at 4:30 p.m. on March 1 at Jeju World Cup Stadium.
