[Asia Economy Reporter Park Hyesook] Incheon City is set to accelerate the construction project of the professional football club Incheon United FC's football center.

The city announced on the 9th that it will begin construction of the center on the 10th to create a stable training environment for its professional players and to systematically train and nurture youth football players.

The Incheon FC Football Center, located near Seonhak Gymnasium in Seonhak-dong, Yeonsu-gu, will be a three-story building with a total area of 3,263㎡, scheduled for completion in May 2022.

With a total project cost of 12.86 billion KRW, including national funds, the center will be equipped with an audiovisual room, dining hall, fitness room, performance analysis room, shower rooms, youth coach offices, treatment rooms, 14 double-occupancy dormitory rooms, and 16 quadruple-occupancy dormitory rooms.

Additionally, one artificial turf football field for youth football will be constructed first, with plans to add one natural grass field in the future.

Currently, Incheon is home to 207 football teams with 7,802 players, including 43 professional teams excluding Incheon FC and 164 amateur club teams, of which 2,666 are youth players.

Meanwhile, Incheon FC, founded as a civic club in 2003, is the only one among the 12 K League 1 clubs without a dedicated clubhouse football center.

An Incheon City official stated, "We expect that the establishment of the Incheon United FC Football Center will greatly contribute to the development of local football."
