The regional draw for the 2025 college football U-League will be completed, and both U-League 1 (division 1) and U-League 2 (division 2) will open on the 18th of next month.
The Korea Football Association announced on the 29th, "The 2025 U-League regional draw was held at the soccer center in Jongno-gu, Seoul on the 28th. The regional drawing ceremony was broadcast live on YouTube channel."
The U-League will be divided into the first and second divisions for the first time in 2022 and mark its fourth year of introducing the platform system this year.
A total of 78 teams will participate this year, 36 teams in the first division and 42 teams in the second division.
The U League 1 (regions 1 to 6) will have six teams in each region, and the U League 2 (regions 7 to 12) will have seven teams in each region. In a home-and-away manner, the first division will play 10 games per team and the second division will play 12 games per team.
As in last year, 12 teams participate in the U-League 1 King of Kings match. Teams ranked first and second in each U-League 1 are eligible to participate.
In addition, the bottom of each U League 1 region (a total of six teams) will be demoted, and the first place in each U League 2 region (a total of six teams) will be promoted.
Depending on last year's performance, the Seminary, Jangan University, Howon University, Wonkwang University, Halla University, and Dongmyeong University will be promoted to challenge the first part.
As a result of the draw, Sunmoon University, the winner of last year's U League 1 King of Kings, was assigned to the 5th area.
The same area includes Inje University and Calvin University, which made a "popular sensation of the promotion team" by reaching the quarterfinals of the King's match last year.
Korea University and Chung-Ang University, which boast two-time championships, were also organized side by side in the first area.
