The previous record was 2.5 million won. That was the top price in the 'K League One of One' campaign, set jointly by Se-jinya's worn boots and the Seoul vs. FC Anyang match record sheet. This time, a single ball surpassed that line. Per Sports Today, the Korea Professional Football League announced on the 3rd that the goal ball of FC Seoul's Mun Seon-min 5.05 million wonwas sold at auction, the league announced. It was the first winning bid in the 5 million won range since the campaign launched in 2025.

K League One of One Record of 5.05 million won, 2.55 million won Higher Than the Previous 2.5 million won

Subtracting the previous record of 2.5 million won from 5.05 million won leaves 2.55 million won. That is a 2.02x ratio. In its announcement on the 3rd, the league said, “Mun Seon-min's goal ball was sold for the record-high 5.05 million won.” Edaily and Sports Chosun also reported the same day that this amount was the campaign's record-high winning bid. However, this record only covers the campaign. It does not represent the highest price across all domestic sports auctions.

The comparison covers only the three items named in this announcement report. Se-jinya's boots and the Seoul vs. FC Anyang match record sheet were each tied at the top price of 2.5 million won. The goal ball sold for 50,000 won more than the combined 5 million won of those two items. This is not a full ranking of all auctions. It is a ranking of only the items named in the league's announcement (as of the 2026.11.03 announcement).

Yonhap News reported that Ulsan also drew the same day, confirming Seoul's title regardless of the remaining Final Round results. It is the club's 7th overall title and its first in 10 years.

Donation use: K League Assist Foundation, year-end delivery planned

'K League One of One' is an official collectibles auction campaign launched in 2025. Items actually used in matches are sold to fans, with a portion of the proceeds donated, asSports Chosun explained. The league announced on the 3rd that it plans to pass donations raised through this year's auctions to the K League Assist Foundation at year-end for social contribution projects.

The winning bid of 5.05 million won and the actual donation amount should be kept separate. CBS Nocut News described it as a “donation to the foundation,” while Edaily described it as “a portion of the proceeds donated.” In Star News's Sept. 4, 2025 report, the Seoul vs. FC Anyang match record sheet had a mid-bid price of 3.5 million won. In this announcement, it was described as 2.5 million won. Mid-bid price and final winning bid are different concepts, but the reason the price dropped has not been confirmed.

To state the verification limits upfront: we did not obtain the final transaction records from the bidding platform, the league's original announcement, or the actual bidding end date and time. It has also not been confirmed whether the full amount was donated or what the specific donation percentage is. The goal ball from the drawn match that confirmed the title, a single ball, reached2.02x the previous record.
