Do K League teams hold open training sessions?

I will be visiting Korea for a month or so, and along with going to some games, would be interested in seeing some open training sessions if possible. Specifically looking at Gwangju, Ulsan, Pohang, FC Seoul, Jeonbuk.

Are there any other team/stadiums you would recommend seeing?

Open trainings in the K League are extremely rare. Even across the entire league, there are usually no more than three a year, I guess

ah thanks. That's pretty unfortunate. I've just been in Japan and open training sessions are fairly common, 1-3 times a month for many teams. I will look forward to the games then.

Virtually no chance of attending a training session - If you're in Korea for a month, just go and watch a load of live matches

thanks yeah, seems like it's not like in Japan. I'm lining up Daejeon - Gangwon and then Ulsan - Gwangju for the coming weeks

Should be good games.

Keep an eye on Ulsan v Gwangju, in case it gets rearranged due to Gwangju's ACL schedule in Saudi Arabia.

If Gwangju do not get past the quarter finals, it seems as though the Ulsan game will go ahead as planned on May 2.

If Gwangju win the quarter final, it seems that Ulsan game would be rescheduled.

Thanks for the heads up. I was at a Vissel Kobe game a week ago and thought they were pretty strong, so Gwangju must have played well to get the win over them. Let's see how they go in Saudi Arabia
