The Korea Professional Football Federation announced on the 3rd that a total of five clubs, including FC Gangneung, Daejeon Korail FC, FC Mokpo, Siheung Citizens' Soccer Team and Chuncheon Citizens' Soccer Team, have completed their applications for the "K League 2 License," which is a prerequisite for promotion to the K League 2.
The K3 League is a semi-professional league, and to participate in the K League 2, you must pass a separate club license review on whether you meet the operating standards of professional teams. Accordingly, the five clubs completed the submission of applications by February 27, the deadline for applying for licenses, and took the first steps to enter the K League 2.
These clubs must submit evidence proving that they meet the "K League 2 license" criteria by May. Along with the review of the submission, the federation will conduct on-site inspection of each club's secretariat and home stadium.
The evaluation is conducted in seven areas, including infrastructure, personnel and administration, legal, finance, sports, marketing and sales, and social contribution, which is a process to comprehensively verify the club's structure and financial stability.
The final approval will be decided at the 'K League Club Qualification Review Committee' to be held in June. If a club that has obtained a K-League 2 license after approval by the committee wins the K3 League this year, it will be eligible to play the promotion match.
The K League 2 - K3 League team-to-team promotion match will be held in a single round at the home stadium of the K League 2 team, with the lowest K League 2 team and the K3 League winner facing each other. The team that wins the game will participate in the K League 2 next season.
