The Songpa-gu Women’s Football Team has once again proven to be the ‘nation’s strongest’ in women’s football.


Songpa-gu (Mayor Seo Gang-seok) announced that the Songpa-gu Women’s Football Team won the championship at the ‘21st Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism National Women’s Football Tournament’ held in Inje-gun, Gangwon-do from the 8th to the 9th, achieving a remarkable record of five consecutive victories.


This year’s National Women’s Football Tournament featured 14 women’s football teams representing 17 cities and provinces nationwide.


The Songpa-gu Women’s Football Team (hereafter Women’s Football Team) advanced to the finals as the top team after winning two matches in the preliminary round. In the semifinals, they defeated the Mapo-gu Women’s Football Team, their fierce competitor from last year, with a score of 2:0. They then triumphed over the Gangdong-gu Women’s Football Team 3:0 in the final, securing the championship with an outstanding record of four wins and no losses.


The district credited the secret to their five consecutive wins to the teamwork built over 25 years.


Founded in 1998, the Women’s Football Team (led by Director Park Young-ok) currently has 34 players under the guidance of Coach Kim Doo-seon. The team is composed of a diverse age range from 23 to 64 years old, tightly united around founding members such as Kim Jeong-hee and Joo Eun-jung, boasting exceptional teamwork.


Coach Kim Doo-seon stated, “Many of the players are office workers or housewives and amateur athletes, but they play each game with the determination and passion comparable to professional players, all united as one. This is our greatest weapon.”


In its 26th year since establishment, the Women’s Football Team boasts a record of 57 championships and 21 runner-up titles, winning the championship at least twice a year on average.


As the representative public sports team of Songpa-gu, the team continues rigorous regular training for two hours every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at their dedicated stadium, the Songpa-gu Women’s Football Stadium in Bangi-dong, supported fully by the district.



Mayor Seo Gang-seok said, “This achievement of five consecutive championships is a valuable result created by the 25 years of unwavering passion of the Songpa-gu Women’s Football Team and the active support of Songpa-gu. We will continue to support residents in enjoying healthy leisure activities through various community sports, including women’s football.”
