As well as the regular bunch of draftees from universities around South Korea, Daegu brought in three Brazilians who would play significant roles in the season; Selmir, Luizinho and Eninho.

The K-League revamped its format, with the season now simply consisting of a conventional league, with the top six teams qualifying to the championship phase.

This didn't help Daegu much, and after their mid-table finishes of the previous two seasons, their performance slipped, and the club placed 12th, winning six games.

Ulsan represented a major scalp that year, as they would win the League Cup in 2007, as well as eventually finishing third in the K-League.

The club achieved a similar level of performance in the FA Cup, where Daegu lost to Incheon United in the round of 16.
