Ulsan HD will look to dig into their intercontinental past when they make the trip halfway around the world to the United States for the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup.

The K League 1 heavyweights, five-time domestic winners at home, famously won the 2012 and 2020 AFC Champions League seasons with an unbeaten record.

They will hope they can draw upon such success in a fascinating group that pits them against heavyweights from three other continents as they look to leave their mark.

But just how did they seal their berth for the revamped Club World Cup, set to take place across the United States between June and July this year? DAZN has all the information.
