The Korea Football Association announced the 2023 Hana One Q FA Cup semi-final and final schedule on the 16th.
The semi-finals will be held on November 1 at Jeonju World Cup Stadium (Jeonbuk Hyundai-Incheon United) and Jeju World Cup Stadium (Jeju United-Pohang Steelers), and the final will be held on November 4.
This year's FA Cup semi-finals between Jeonbuk-Incheon and Jeju-Pohang were scheduled to be held at Jeonju and Jeju World Cup Stadium on the 9th of this month, respectively, but all have been postponed.
The Jeonbuk-Incheon match was postponed on the morning of the 8th after twists and turns in the aftermath of the Saemangeum Jamboree.
Confusion arose when the government changed the K-pop concert scheduled to be held at the Saemangeum campsite on the 6th to Jeonju World Cup Stadium on the 11th as concerns were raised about the health and safety of participants due to the heat wave at the Saemangeum Jamboree site.
As Typhoon Kanun landed predicted, the government decided to move the Jamboree participants to the metropolitan area and changed the venue for the K-pop concert to Seoul, and a plan to hold the FA Cup normally was also considered, but Incheon, which played a K League 1 away match against Jeonbuk on the 6th, left Jeonju. Due to circumstances, it was eventually postponed.
The Jeju-Pohang match was postponed after officials discussed it until just before the start on the afternoon of the 9th, and it was judged that it was impossible to proceed normally due to the sudden change in weather caused by the typhoon.
The changed semi-final date, November 1, was originally scheduled for the first leg of the final.
As the semi-finals were held on this day, the finals were changed to a single match instead of the first and second home and away games.
The Korea Football Association said that after having the four clubs advancing to the semifinals first submit their desired game dates, on the 14th of this month, a video conference attended by the head or representative of each club was held and various proposals were discussed and the schedule changed.
The association said, "In the case of the A-match period in late August or September, clubs that put excessive strain on team management and schedules due to continuous international and league game schedules, or where it is difficult to play the tournament with the best performance due to the selection of key players for the national team," the association said. It was excluded after consultation."
The reduction of the final was explained in accordance with the article 12 of the FA Cup competition rules, 'Contest method', 'in the case of the final, it may be played as a single match according to the match schedule'."
As the final is changed to a single game, the venue and method of the match will be announced later through consultation with the association and clubs.
