description Seoul Derby Overview
The Seoul Derby is the football rivalry label for FC Seoul and Seoul E-Land FC, two professional clubs based in South Korea's capital. Although the matchup was discussed when Seoul E-Land entered K League 2 in 2015, the teams did not play one another in the Korean FA Cup until the third round on April 14, 2021. Seoul E-Land won that first meeting 1-0 at Seoul World Cup Stadium, so the rivalry's name refers to their shared city rather than a long history of league fixtures.
