Team K League’s Fan Eleven Voting Update Ahead of Match Against Newcastle United

With the Team K League Fan Eleven voting period at its halfway point, K League has provided an udate on which players have received the most votes.

Final results will be announced on July 15th. Fans who vote daily during the period will have a chance to win various prizes through a draw.

After the Fan Eleven is finalized, Team K League’s head coach Kim Pan-gon and assistant coach Lee Jung-hyo will select additional players, taking into account positional needs and club representation.
