[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Yuri] HDC I'Park Mall announced on the 20th that it will support the use of the 'Yongsan I'Park Mall The Base Futsal Court' of the 'Cha Bum-kun Soccer School' in collaboration with 'Adidas The Base' to promote the development of youth soccer in Korea.


As a result, the Cha Bum-kun Soccer School, which was launched in 1988 as the first youth soccer club in Korea and has a 34-year history, has escaped an unprecedented suspension of operations and will be able to resume classes at Yongsan I'Park Mall.


The I'Park Mall futsal court, known as the 'holy ground for soccer and futsal enthusiasts in the city,' hosts various events such as English soccer classes and youth soccer tournaments, attracting about 800 visitors daily and 290,000 annually.


A representative from The Base said, "Thanks to the consideration of the Football Association, I'Park Mall, and 'With Futsal,' which has been operating the existing soccer school and social matches with the development of Korean youth soccer in mind, the Cha Bum-kun Soccer School can make a fresh start at Yongsan I'Park Mall," adding, "We will strive to normalize the operation of the Cha Bum-kun Soccer School and ensure smooth use by general customers."


The Cha Bum-kun Soccer School plans to conduct classes starting from the 2nd of next month, utilizing two courts each on weekdays and weekends at the I'Park Mall futsal courts, which consist of a total of seven courts: one indoor and seven outdoor.



An I'Park Mall official said, "Many young soccer hopefuls have been wishing for the normalization of the Cha Bum-kun Soccer School, so the decision was made promptly," adding, "We will ensure that the children of the Cha Bum-kun Soccer School can receive soccer lessons in a comfortable and better environment."
