A goal ball from a decisive Korean football match fetched a record amount at a charity auction, the league office announced on Tuesday. The Korea Professional Football League (K League) revealed the ball used by Moon Seon-min for FC Seoul in a match against Gangwon FC on October 24 sold for 5.05 million won, equivalent to $3,767.
This marks the highest donation since the league initiated its charity auction in 2025. Moon's solitary goal secured a 1-1 draw, ultimately securing FC Seoul their first K League 1 title in a decade, with five matches remaining. The auction also included match-worn uniforms from K League representatives who participated in an exhibition game against Manchester City in August, as well as the replica trophy awarded to the K League Player of the Month.
Proceeds from the auction will be directed to charities via the K League Assist Foundation at the year's end.
