Qatar promised special treatment to Ulsan Hyundai.
Ulsan will have a second round of confrontation with Tigres UANL, the champions league championship team of the North, Central America Caribbean Football Federation (CONCACAF), on the 4th at 11 pm (KST). If this match is won, the champions of the South American Football Federation (CONMEBOL) Champions League, SE Paumeiras, will face off for the finals.
Qatar is a place with good memories in Ulsan. It was the place that won the 2020 AFC Champions League championship held in Doha last December. Ulsan boasted a fierce energy enough to win from the 2nd leg of the group stage to the final, and reached the top of Asia again after 8 years. There are many things to be concerned with due to the Corona 19 pendemic, and even in a constrained environment, he stayed for a month and succeeded in achieving the championship.

There was a background behind Ulsan’s ability to show good performance. At the time, Ulsan was guaranteed a high level of medical support and security from Qatar Ambassador Mohamed bin Ahmad Al-Haiki in Korea. Former director Kim Do-hoon did not spare any praise for this.
Ulsan seems to have been promised the same level of treatment as at the time. According to the global media’Goal.com’, “Al-Haiki, the Qatar Ambassador to Korea, promised Ulsan the same level of treatment as last time. The Qatar authorities will prioritize the safety and health of the Ulsan coaching staff and the entire team during the tournament, and will help them play safely.”
