Seoul E-Land invited 12 fans to host a special celebration event called "12th Kick" ahead of the home opener against Gyeongnam FC in the second round of Hana Bank's K League 2 2026 at Mokdong Stadium on the 7th.

The festival was planned with the meaning of the slogan "12un for ONE" announced by Seoul E-Land ahead of this season. Seoul E-Land added symbolism by inviting fans to the ground to commemorate the first home game of the 12th season with fans, the "12th player."

Twelve fans each wearing uniforms from 2015 to 2026, the first year of its foundation, participated in the celebration. Participants consisted of a variety of fans, including elementary school students and E-Land Group employees, as well as "Founders," the original season ticket buyer, and showed the history of Seoul E-Land at a glance by wearing uniforms from different seasons, including home, away and goalkeeper uniforms.

In particular, fans who actually have uniforms for each season participated in this event, adding meaning. Participants were selected by posting photos of their uniforms on Instagram with hashtag #12UN_FOR_ONE.

The special start with the fans also led to the result of the game. Seoul E-Land reported its first win of the season by beating Gyeongnam 1-0 with fans' support in the home opener.

According to the club, Woo Hyun-woo, who participated in his first year of home uniforms, said, "I was impressed by the team's ambition as a 'No. 1 popular club' at the time of its foundation, so I joined as a Founders. I was always moved by the constant challenge, and I will be with you in the future," he said. "As a partner in creating the club's culture together, I am grateful to see my fans and I am happy to be with them at the beginning of the season."

Yoon Ji-woo, a fifth grader in elementary school who participated in the 2017 season's home uniform, said, "I've been visiting the stadium since I was 8 years old with my dad and supporting Seoul E-Land. It is meaningful to participate in the celebration event with fans. I was nervous and excited to step on the grass myself, which I always looked at from the stands. As it's a season with fans, I really hope it will be promoted," he said.

Meanwhile, Seoul E-Land will try to win two consecutive home games against Busan I'Park on the 14th (Saturday).
