According to Chuncheon City on October 8, the club's cumulative home attendance this year stood at 12,780 as of September 30. In just 12 home games, it surpassed twice last year's total attendance of 5,354. That was about 3.5 times the 3,681 recorded in 2024.


Average attendance per game rose from about 382 last year to 1,065 this year. Some games drew crowds comparable to those at K League 2 professional soccer matches.


On July 26, 2,826 people attended a home game, setting a club record for home-game attendance. Among the nine games held that same week—the eight K League 2 home games and the Chuncheon match—it ranked fifth in attendance. The September 12 home game drew 2,633 people, ranking seventh among nine games compared on the same basis.


Chuncheon Citizens Football Club will play Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors N at home on October 10 at 2 p.m. at the Main Stadium of Songam Sports Town. It will be the club's first home game in about a month, following its match against Yeoju FC on September 12. Chuncheon beat Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors N 6-1 in their head-to-head match last May.


A "MAKE IT YELLOW" cheering event will be held at the stadium that day. The stands will be decorated with yellow balloons and cheering items, and after the game, fans will write messages of support for the team on paper airplanes and launch them.


There will also be activity programs for families, including balloon darts, an inflatable bouncer, a magic show, lucky-turtle making, and face painting. A soccer-ball-making activity will be held with Kangwon National University's Science Classroom, along with a prize drawing featuring a coffee machine, a fixie bicycle, gift certificates, and other prizes.



A Chuncheon Citizens Football Club official said, "We are grateful that more and more citizens and fans are coming to our home games," adding, "The entire team will do its best to repay your support with good performances."
