History
During the construction, the working name of the stadium was Daegu Forest Arena. DGB Financial Group bought the naming rights and named the stadium DGB Daegu Bank Park in February 2019, becoming the first stadium with naming rights in the K League history.[4][5] However, this name cannot be used when hosting AFC events, since these governing bodies have policies forbidding corporate sponsorship from companies that are not official tournament partners. In AFC club matches, it is known as the Daegu Forest Arena.
In January 2025, the stadium name was changed to Daegu iM Bank Park.[6]
