The historic 100th modern day derby will be held. Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors FC will face its fateful rival Ulsan HD.
Jeonbuk and Ulsan will face each other in the sixth round of Hana Bank's K League 1 2026 at 2 p.m. on the 4th at Jeonju World Cup Stadium. The showdown is expected to be a watershed moment in the competition for the top spot, along with the historical symbolism that Hyundai is the 100th Derby in the league between the two teams.
Currently, Jeonbuk ranks third in the league with two wins, two draws and one loss (eight points). Ulsan, which has played one less game, is in second place with three wins and one draw (10 points). Both teams are in desperate need of three points as the top-ranked game can be changed depending on the results of this game.
Hyundai's Derby, a rival match representing the K-League, is slightly ahead of Jeonbuk with 38 wins, 24 draws and 37 losses. Jeonbuk is determined to keep its pride and lay the groundwork for its leap into the lead by winning its 100th game.
The news of power reinforcement is also good to see. Midfielder Kim Jin-kyu and gatekeeper Song Bum-keun, who finished the national team friendly match, will return to the team to help. The addition of the two players, who have finished preheating in the national team, is expected to strengthen Jeonbuk's balance of offense and defense.
Jeonbuk has also finished refurbishing the stadium to provide a pleasant viewing environment for home fans. To help players focus on the game, the artificial turf around the ground has been completed to add visual stability, and a large Nighty Search Air Balloon photo zone with a spring theme will be set up to welcome fans.
Transportation convenience has also been strengthened in preparation for large crowds. In cooperation with Jeonju City, it plans to operate 14 city buses in 1994, a special route on the day of the game, and two more village buses will be operated to help fans visit smoothly and minimize traffic congestion.
The first matchday tour using the Fan Experience Center, which officially opened on the 28th of last month, will also begin on the same day. Fans will experience a differentiated program that allows them to experience the club's history and culture and feel the vivid atmosphere on the day of the game through the center. The official store in the center officially releases and begins selling Jeonbuk Hyundai Photo Sign Book featuring players in commemoration of the 100th Derby.
Jeonbuk General Manager Lee Do-hyun asked for enthusiastic support from fans through the club, saying, "On a historic day when the 100th Hyundai in the league is Derby, we are fully prepared so that fans can fully enjoy the improved stadium facilities with the joy of victory." Meanwhile, ticket reservations for the Hyundai Derby are underway through the official website and app of Jeonbuk Hyundai.
