Seoul Iland FC forward Ahn Ju-wan (17) has shattered the record for the youngest goal scorer in K-League history.

Born on April 14, 2009, Ahn Ju-wan scored his team's third goal in the 19th minute of the second half during the 19th round home match against Cheonan City FC at Mokdong Stadium on the 24th in the 'Hana Bank K League 2 2026'.

At 17 years, 3 months, and 10 days old, Ahn Ju-wan shook the net, shaving three days off the previous youngest goal-scoring record held by Park Seung-soo of Suwon Samsung (17 years, 3 months, 13 days) in 2024. Earlier, during a March away match against Cheonan, he set the K League 2 record for the youngest appearance at 16 years, 11 months, and 7 days old. In his first home game, he also scored his debut goal, setting a second new record.

A two-footed wide attacker, Ahn Ju-wan has been a standout talent since his youth days. He won the Cha Bum-kun Football Award in 2022 and consecutively claimed the K League Junior U15 Region A scoring title (22 goals in 19 matches) in 2023, followed by the U15 Region B scoring title (39 goals in 18 matches) and the U15 Championship scoring title (11 goals in 7 matches) in 2024. Recently, he participated in the U-17 Asian Cup, recording two goals in four matches, and continues to shine for age-group national teams.

Meanwhile, Seoul Iland secured a 4-3 victory over Cheonan with four goals, including Ahn Ju-wan's, propelling them to second place in the league.
