Nexon Supports Young Soccer Talents... Launches Project 'Ground N'

[Asia Economy Reporter Kang Nahum] Nexon announced on the 13th that it has signed an official partnership agreement with the Korea Professional Football League to sponsor domestic youth soccer and launched the online soccer game FIFA Online 4 youth soccer support project 'Ground N.'

Through ‘Ground N,’ Nexon plans to actively invest in supporting youth soccer and contribute to expanding the soccer base. Starting this year, it will implement support measures tailored to each age group and operate an integrated program covering a wide range from U11 to U18.

First, from the 15th to the 23rd, the ‘Ground N Stove League In Namhae’ program will be held. Through this, full support will be provided for the training camps of participating teams in Namhae-gun, a major winter training location for U15 soccer teams during the off-season.

From July to August, Nexon will participate as the title sponsor of the ‘K League Youth Championship,’ supporting all six tournaments including U12&11, U15&14, and U18&17. The ‘K League Youth Championship’ is the most prestigious domestic soccer competition for youth, where elite youth players under K League professional teams showcase their skills.

Along with this, the ‘Ground N Popup Soccer School’ will be held year-round. This program provides soccer education opportunities to youth in underprivileged island and mountainous regions and will be conducted jointly with famous figures and influencers in the soccer world, planning to visit 8 to 10 regions nationwide.

Additionally, as advisory committee members for the ‘Ground N’ project, Jeong Jeong-yong, head coach of Seoul E-Land FC, and Hong Eon-pyo, head coach of Seoul E-Land FC U15, have been appointed.

Park Jung-moo, Group Head of Nexon, said, "'Ground N' is a project prepared to fulfill the social responsibility of ‘FIFA Online 4,’ which has grown based on the foundation of Korean soccer, and to contribute to creating a better youth soccer environment." He added, "We hope that by nurturing this as a long-term project, the domestic youth soccer environment will further develop and many excellent prospects will be discovered."
