The Hana Hockey Korea Football Association (FA Cup) 2023 quarterfinal between Jeju United and Pohang Steelers has been canceled in the aftermath of Typhoon Kanun.
The FA Cup quarterfinal match between Jeju and Pohang was scheduled to take place at 7:30 p.m. on Sept. 9 at Seogwipo Stadium in Jeju. However, the match was canceled about 40 minutes before kickoff.
The KFA said, "The FA Cup Jeju-Pohang match was canceled and postponed due to typhoon and safety concerns." "With Typhoon Kanun heading north, there were concerns about safety accidents for players and spectators if the match was forced to go ahead," it said. "It was decided to postpone the match based on the judgment of the match supervisor. The rescheduled date will be announced later."
The Jeju Island club said on its social networking service (SNS), "Due to the sudden change in weather caused by the typhoon, the game could not be played, and after discussions with the match supervisor and 스포츠토토 tournament headquarters, we decided to postpone the game for everyone's safety." "We would like to express our deepest sympathies to the fans of Pohang, who have traveled a particularly long way to attend the match."
As a result, both FA Cup quarterfinal matches scheduled for the day have been postponed. Jeonbuk Hyundai and Incheon United were scheduled to play at Jeonju World Cup Stadium on the same day, but were canceled due to the disruption of the 2023 Saemangeum World Scouting Jamboree and the arrival of Typhoon Buksang.
