Paju Frontier FC made a K-League box office record in its first home opener since its foundation.

Paju lost 0-1 to Suwon Samsung in the second round of the "2026 Hana Bank K League 2" at Paju Stadium on the 7th. However, 12,203 spectators visited the stadium and played the club's historic first home game.

According to the Paju club, 12,203 spectators entered the second round of the K-League, the largest number of spectators in both K-League 1 and K-League 2. In addition, it is the second-largest record in history based on the home opening of the K League 2 founding club since the 2018 K League paid audience tally.

In particular, the number of spectators is about three times higher than the 4,313 average paid spectators in the K League 2 last season. The number of spectators recorded by the civic team, which marked its first season, is considered an unusual box office performance.

Paju also announced the beginning of a new game culture by performing the storytelling opening performance "Into the Cosmos" at the game. The club plans to revitalize the K-League through a new soccer culture that the region and fans create together in the future.

"The active cooperation and participation of citizens and related organizations in the promotion and marketing process for audiences were a great help," said Hwang Gu-chi, head of Paju, adding, "We are especially grateful to the Paju Police Station and the 2nd Armored Brigade for their efforts in traffic control and parking cooperation."

"The next home game is against the Jeonnam Dragons at 2 p.m. on March 21 at Paju Stadium," he said, adding, "I hope many fans will visit the stadium again to support Paju Frontier FC's first home victory."
