Final Match Against Powerhouse Sunmoon University in the 1st and 2nd Year College Soccer Federation Tournament

Dongmyung University (President Jeon Ho-hwan), which made headlines by dominating college soccer just 69 days after its founding, is once again aiming for the top spot only four months later.

Dongmyung University defeated the strong Soongsil University 3-2 in the semifinals of the 19th Freshman and Sophomore University Football Federation Taebaeksan Cup, and is now set to face Sunmoon University in the final (at Taebaek Sports Complex) on the 16th.

With this, Dongmyung University is now looking to achieve consecutive championships, just over four months after winning the 60th Spring University Football Federation Tournament.

In this Taebaeksan Cup, Dongmyung University won 1-0 against Halla University in the round of 16, 5-0 against Ajou University in the quarterfinals, and 3-2 against Soongsil University in the semifinals.

Hong Jiwoo, who was selected as the Man of the Match in both the quarterfinals and semifinals, is gaining attention as a promising college soccer player, recognized for his kicking ability, vision, and passing sense.

President Jeon Ho-hwan said, "With confident Do-ing (challenge, experience, practice), I hope our team will perform well in this Taebaeksan Cup as well. All faculty and staff will be cheering together."

Previously, on February 27, Dongmyung University stunned the nation by defeating Ajou University 1-0 in the final of the 60th Spring University Football Federation Tournament (Hansan Daecheopgi), becoming the strongest college soccer team in the country just 69 days after its founding.

Dongmyung University, which established its Department of Football in the 2024 academic year, is equipped with a dedicated team bus, exclusive training room, and player rehabilitation room. Riding the momentum of its national championship, the university has begun constructing an international standard soccer field on campus, aiming to complete the project by August.

Emerging as a prestigious institution in sports, culture, and the arts, Dongmyung University is also excelling in taekwondo, shooting, and bowling, with freshman Im Sungjun being selected for the national yacht team in May.
