The fourth match of the GIFA Cup will be revealed in 'Goal Diggers' (hereafter 'Goal Diggers').

On the 24th, the SBS entertainment program 'Goal Diggers' will feature two teams representing the South Korean music industry, 'FC Balladream' and 'FC Top Girl', battling fiercely for the last ticket to the top 6.

As this is a competition between seniors and juniors in the music industry, a fierce battle for pride is expected. Balladream's Seo Gi said, "If 'Top Girl' grits their teeth and runs two or three steps more, we are ready to grit our teeth and run five or six steps more," expressing strong determination.

The two teams will reunite after about two years since the first SBS Cup, with their head-to-head record standing at 1 win and 1 loss, making it a tight match-up. Attention is focused on what new drama will unfold in the music showdown between the two teams on the field.

In this GIFA Cup, coach Choi Sung-yong, who was with both teams during their prime, will take the helm of 'FC Top Girl' after about three years, leading to the so-called 'Choi Sung-yong Derby'. After being released in the third Challenge League, 'Balladream', which won the first SBS Cup under coach Choi's leadership and created a myth, will now face him as an opposing team. Notably, coach Choi previously led 'Top Girl' to promotion to the Super League with an undefeated streak in three matches during the first Challenge League, raising expectations for his performance in this GIFA Cup.

However, the players of 'Balladream' declared, "You might think this is the 'Balladream' you knew, but you will be surprised today," challenging their former coach. It remains to be seen which of coach Choi's two disciples will claim victory.

Meanwhile, 'Balladream's current coach Hyun Young-min, based on his experience of defeating the finalists in the previous G League, stated that he aims for a high-scoring game with aggressive play in this match. He plans to lead the game with upgraded passing plays from the 'Kyung Seo-gi combo', along with unique set pieces and bold game management. Expectations are high for whether Hyun Young-min's attacking football can secure 'Balladream' a spot in the top 6.

The explosive music showdown between 'Top Girl' and 'Balladream' can be seen on 'Goal Diggers', airing on the 24th at 9 PM.
