Wikipedia - K League 1
The K League 1 (Korean: K리그1) is the top flight of men's professional football in the South Korean football league system, and is contested by twelve clubs. It is one of the most successful leagues in the Asian Football Confederation, with its past and present clubs having won a record twelve AFC Champions League titles.
History
The South Korean professional football league was founded in 1983 as the Korean Super League, with five member clubs. The initial five clubs were Hallelujah FC, Yukong Elephants, Pohang Steelworks, Daewoo Royals, Kookmin Bank. Hallelujah FC won the inaugural title, finishing one point ahead of Daewoo Royals to lift the trophy.
The Super League was renamed the Korean Professional Football League, and introduced the home and away system in 1987. It was once again renamed the K League in 1998. After the 2011 season, the K League Championship and the Korean League Cup were abolished, and the league was split into two divisions in 2013. The first division was named the K League Classic, while the newly created second division was named the K League Challenge, and both are now part of the K League structure. Since its creation, the league has expanded from an initial 5 to 22 clubs. Of the five inaugural clubs, only Yukong, Pohang and Daewoo still compete in the K League; Kookmin Bank dropped out of the league at the end of 1984, and Hallelujah followed the season after.
On 22 January 2018, the top-flight competition was renamed as K League 1.
K League 1 features a competitive format where teams compete in a round-robin schedule, with each club playing home and away matches against every other team. The league typically consists of 12 teams, with the season running from February to December. The top teams at the end of the regular season qualify for the playoffs, culminating in the championship match to determine the league champion.
The K League 1 is known for its high level of play, with a mix of domestic and international talent, including skilled South Korean players and foreign stars. The league has also been a vital platform for nurturing young talent, contributing to the success of the South Korean national team on the international stage.
In addition to the thrilling matches, the K League 1 is characterized by its vibrant fan culture, with supporters passionately backing their teams in stadiums across the country. The league also emphasizes community engagement and social responsibility, making it an integral part of South Korea's sporting landscape.
With its rich history, competitive spirit, and commitment to excellence, the South Korea K League 1 continues to be a significant force in Asian football, captivating audiences both locally and globally.
