Suwon FC Park Joo-ho finished the retirement ceremony and retirement game in the match between Suwo FC and Ulsan Hyundai in the ‘Hanawon Q K League 1’ held at Suwon Sports Complex in Gyeonggi-do on the afternoon of the 6th.
Park Joo-ho played in Ulsan in the K-League from the 2018 season after going through stages in Japan and Europe, and played in Suwon FC uniform from the 2021 season. His K-League career record is 127 games and 3 assists.
At the retirement ceremony held before the game, there was a retirement ceremony such as awarding a plaque of appreciation and delivering a bouquet of flowers, and Park Joo-ho played for the team’s victory by walking on the ground for 90 minutes. In the second half of extra time, he was replaced by Choi Bo-kyung and finished his last match as a player.
After the match, Park Joo-ho expressed his gratitude to Ulsan and Suwon FC fans. Park Joo-ho said, “I think I finished it by doing my best in my professional life. When I was a player, I gave 60 to 70 points, but today, I want to give 100 points with the thought that I finished without regret.”
Before leaving the ground, Park Joo-ho made his last memories by giving high-fives to the long line of fans. Park Joo-ho, who was giving a high-five, burst into laughter at the words of a little fan. The kid high-fiving Park Joo-ho said to Park Joo-ho, “Give me your soccer boots and go.”
Perhaps the little friend told Park Joo-ho, who is retiring, that he no longer needed soccer boots. Park Joo-ho stopped right there, smiled broadly, and stroked his little boy’s head as he left the arena.
In an interview with reporters, Park Joo-ho said, “Thank you to the countless fans who have supported me so far. Thanks to the fans’ love and interest, I was able to come this far, and thanks to that, I was able to be happier as a soccer player. Life as a soccer player is here. It’s over, but I’ll continue to live by repaying the fans’ love.”
Park Joo-ho said, “For the month of June, I will spend time with my family, organize my schedule, and think about what I can do.”토토사이트
