2014 in South Korean football

This article shows a summary of the 2014 football season in South Korea.

FIFA World Cup
Hong Myung-bo became the national team manager one year before the 2014 World Cup, and had to prepare for the competition in a short period of time. He called the bronze medalists of the 2012 Summer Olympics who had been led by him, but performed below par in the World Cup. They were pelted with yeot (a traditional Korean confectionery, which can sometimes be used to express insults) when they returned to South Korea.

Promotion playoffs
Gwangju FC were promoted to the K League Classic, while Gyeongnam FC were relegated to the K League Challenge.
