from what i hear the games gonna be at Jamsil Stadium (서울종합운동장)

unfortunately cant say the time yet though but ill let you know when i find out

 

Most matches are going to be held at 3 until the season is well into the spring. The location switches between 노원 [north eastern Seoul] and 잠실 [south eastern Seoul] throughout the season.

Where is it that you live? You are overcommitting if you plan on cheering on both FC Seoul and Seoul United. There are also other options available within Seoul besides those two clubs. For example, although I live a short bus ride away from 상암, I am going to instead follow the newly formed 중랑 코러스 무스탕 of the third division since they play their home matches literally 2 minutes away from where my grandmother is living at the moment.

 

Sincheon or Sinchon? Bus 7737 goes straight from Sinchon to Digital Media City, which is across the street from the WC stadium. Sincheon is a 5 minute walk from Jamsil.

If you're studying, I'm guessing you're in Sinchon, next to Yonsei/Ewha University. I find it to be quite a trek to go from there to Jamsil for baseball games, but I indulged in the 8000 won tickets quite often.

edit: If you have the time on weekends, you should check out all the clubs around Seoul and then pick one to support. Subway down to Gangnam, and branch out south from there with buses. Suwon matches are fun, Seongnam's atmosphere sucks but the team is usually good. I've never been to Incheon United games but it's on my bucket list. I don't really branch outside of K-League but you get the idea.

 

FYI, I'd stress the fact that Sincheon is different from Sinchon (신천 vs 신촌). Sinchon is where the Yonsei students go out, Sincheon is a similar bar type district south of the river. If you're Korean isn't great and misspeak to a taxi driver, you just might end up an hour away after a drunken late night.

 

It's still a lot better than giving away 5만원 bill for what was a 5천원 taxi ride. I have never done it myself, but I hear it is a common thing amongst heavy drinkers. I can see why.

If you really live by Yonsei, I can't see why you'd look elsewhere for a club. FC Seoul is practically next door for you. All the other clubs within Seoul is give or take an hour travel. You don't want that.

Also, why not give your school team a try. The quality of the University League is not far from the quality of the third division and Yonsei happens to be among the very best teams. The matches are held on Friday afternoons and you can probably watch the match from the sideline.
