The International Federation of Football History and Statistics (IFFHS) announced the 2022 world professional football club rankings on the 25th. Jeonbuk ranked highest in Asia.

Following Jeonbuk (42nd) with 165 converted points in 2022, Ulsan Hyundai (99th) has the second highest global ranking in Asia with 121 points.

In the rankings announced by IFFHS in 2021, Ulsan, which won the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Champions League (ACL) in 2020, was ranked first in Asia ahead of Jeonbuk. Within a year, the rankings of the two clubs reversed.

Starting with the renewal of the contract with coach Kim Sang-sik early on, the ‘proven midfielder’ Amano Jun was recruited from Ulsan as a surprise. In addition, tall defender Jeong Tae-wook was brought in from Daegu FC.

In addition, they recruited Lee Dong-jun, who had advanced to Europe, and worked hard to strengthen their offense. And Kim Gun-woong, Jeong Min-ki, Oh Jae-hyuk, and Lee Soo-bin also joined.

On the 10th, Jeonbuk even announced the signing of Rafael, a Brazilian striker who has won the ACL championship. 토토사이트
