Songpa Women's Football Team Achieves 4 Consecutive National Championship Titles!

Achieving Results Through Active Support from Songpa-gu and Intensive Training... Confirming Nationwide Supremacy with 4 Consecutive Wins at the 10th Presidential Cup National Football Festival

[Asia Economy Reporter Jong-il Park] Songpa-gu (Mayor Park Seong-su) won the women's division championship with the Songpa-gu Women's Football Team at the 10th Presidential National Football Festival hosted by the Korea Football Association.

From the 14th to the 15th, a total of 11 teams, each representing the best team from each city and province nationwide, participated in the tournament. The Songpa-gu Women's Football Team represented Seoul and achieved an impressive feat of winning the championship for the fourth consecutive year since 2017.

To promote grassroots sports, the district established the women's football team in 1998. Currently, under the guidance of Coach Kim Du-seon, a total of 25 players are active. Including founding members, players ranging in age from their 20s to 60s have built strong teamwork over 20 years, achieving 49 championships and 19 runner-up titles since the team's inception.

In this tournament, they consecutively defeated the football teams of Seogwipo City, Jeju; Chilgok County, Gyeongbuk; and Ansan City, Gyeonggi, securing the championship. Their outstanding skill was evident as they did not concede a single goal in three matches.

This success was possible thanks to Songpa-gu's generous administrative support and the team's rigorous regular training. The women's football team conducts regular training three times a week at the Songpa Women's Football Stadium (474 Olympic-ro) provided by the district and hones their skills through biannual training camps.

Despite the cancellation of overseas training camps and many restrictions on on-site training due to COVID-19 this year, the team once again proved to be the best women's football team nationwide with their overwhelming performance.

Coach Kim Du-seon expressed, “Although we were concerned about a decline in performance due to COVID-19, I am grateful to all the players who trusted each other and achieved the best results.”

Songpa-gu Mayor Park Seong-su said, “I am very proud that the women's football team representing Seoul won the national championship. Based on this excellent achievement, we will strive to expand the sports culture that everyone in the district can participate in and further promote the health of our residents.”
