Gangwon FC of the professional soccer K League 1 finished the season in second place, the highest in the club's history, with Yang Min-hyuk's scoring shot, who had a farewell match ahead of joining Tottenham (England).
Gangwon won 1-0 with Yang Min-hyuk's winning goal in the 35th minute of the first half in a home game against the Pohang Steelers in the 38th round of the Hana Bank K League 1 Final A at Gangneung Stadium on the 23rd.
As a result, Gangwon finished the 2024 season in second place (6th place in the previous year) with 64 points (19 wins, 7 draws, and 12 losses).

Basically, the AFC Champions League Elite (ACLE) in the 2025-2026 season will feature Ulsan HD, the winner of this year's K League 1, and the Korea Cup champion.
The first ranking team in the K-League will be eligible to play in the ACLE Playoffs. The next ranking team will be eligible to play in the ACL2. Gimcheon, which is a military team and therefore cannot compete in the Asian club competition, will be excluded.

Pohang (53, 14 wins, 11 draws and 13 losses) will play in ACL2 even if it wins the Korea Cup, falling to sixth place.
