FC Seoul Manager Kim Ki-dong (55) and his team, who reached the top of K League 1 for the first time in 10 years, visited the volleyball arena to wish their "sister club," GS Caltex, a second consecutive V-League title.

The FC Seoul delegation, including Manager Kim Ki-dong and captain Kim Jin-su, attended the match between GS Caltex and SOOP Supers on the 14th at Jangchung Gymnasium in Seoul as part of the "Jin Air 2026~2027 V-League" Women's Division Round 1.

This visit carries a special significance, as the two clubs exchange "winning energy." GS Caltex, which achieved an undefeated championship in the V-League postseason for the 2025~2026 season, had previously visited Seoul World Cup Stadium in April to perform a ceremonial kick-off. Receiving that winning energy, FC Seoul accomplished the feat of reaching the top of K League 1 this season, marking their first title in 10 years since 2016 and their seventh championship in club history.

Before the match, Manager Kim Ki-dong and Kim Jin-su, who participated in the ceremonial first serve event, received a warm cheer from the volleyball fans in the arena. Standing on the court, Manager Kim Ki-dong stated, "We were able to win because GS Caltex gave us the energy of victory."

Kim Jin-su also said, "The volleyball team supported us a lot, which allowed FC Seoul to win the championship. We will also support them greatly this season."

After the ceremonial first serve event, the FC Seoul delegation moved to the spectator seats to watch the game. GS Caltex, who have recorded two wins and one loss in their first three matches since the start of this season, pledged to continue their smooth sailing toward a second consecutive V-League title, bolstered by the support of the K League 1 champions.
