[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yong-su] In the 2020 K-6 Jeollanam-do Football League, the Gangjin YB team took first place.


According to Gangjin-gun on the 12th, the tournament was held from August 9th with 250 players from 12 teams in Jeonnam participating, and matches were conducted at three stadiums: the Comprehensive Sports Complex, Cheongja Stadium, and Nampo Stadium, while adhering to quarantine guidelines.


The tournament was held with a limited number of participants: 50 players, 5 referees, 10 staff members, and fewer than 100 people per match.


The K-6 Football League consisted of preliminary leagues from the 1st to the 5th rounds, and the 6th round was conducted as playoffs.

Starting with a 5-1 victory over Goheung K6 team in the 1st round on August 9th, Gangjin YB won all five matches, including a 4-1 win against Yeonggwang Chilsan team and a 3-0 win against Yeosu Mariners team in the 2nd and 3rd rounds on the 10th, and a 2-1 win against Mokpo Gatdangdae team and a 3-0 win against Mokpo EVRO team in the 5th and 6th rounds on the 11th, securing first place with a perfect record.


The Gangjin YB team will participate in the playoffs next month along with the second-place team, Mokpo Gatdangdae, competing against the top six teams from Gwangju and Jeonnam. The champion team will advance to the K-5 League.


This K-6 League was conducted with strict pre-event measures to prevent COVID-19, including matches without spectators, temperature checks, mask-wearing, visitor log registration, and disinfection.



County Governor Lee Seung-ok said, “I thank the Jeonnam Football Association, Gangjin County Sports Council, and Gangjin Football Association for their dedication to holding a normal tournament by strictly following quarantine rules during these difficult times due to COVID-19,” and added, “We will cooperate as much as possible to ensure the success of not only the K-6 League but also other tournaments.”
