Songpa-gu Women's Football Team Wins Presidential Cup National Football Championship...Proving Nationwide Supremacy Again

Two National Championships This Year Alone... Women's Soccer Reaffirms Its Status as the Nation's Strongest
58 Wins and 21 Runner-ups Since Founded in 1998

The Songpa-gu Women's Football Team (Mayor Seo Gang-seok) claimed victory at the 13th Presidential National Football Festival, once again securing the top position in women's football.

Following their win at the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism Cup in June, they achieved a double crown this year.

The tournament was held on June 7th and 8th across Andong City. This year’s Presidential National Football Festival featured 8 women's football teams from 17 cities and provinces nationwide competing to showcase their skills.

Despite the hot weather, the Songpa-gu Women's Football Team demonstrated their status as the 'nation’s strongest' in women's football by maintaining four consecutive clean sheets from the preliminary rounds through to the finals.

They secured two wins in the preliminary matches with impenetrable defense and sharp offense, advancing steadily as the top team in Group B to the main rounds. Riding this momentum, they dominated the matches throughout, overwhelming their opponents and maintaining clean sheets in both the semifinals and finals to clinch the championship in the women's division.

The Songpa-gu Women's Football Team, which has achieved two national titles this year alone, consists of over 30 members including team leader Park Young-ok, coach Kim Du-seon, and the players. Since its founding in 1998, the team has established itself as a powerhouse in women's football with 58 championships and 21 runner-up finishes to date.

This remarkable outcome was made possible by the exceptional teamwork and dedication of the coaches, players, staff, and club officials who worked closely together.

Notably, the team members range in age from 23 to 64 and, despite having other primary occupations, they consistently train for two hours every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at their dedicated home ground, the Songpa-gu Women's Football Stadium, producing results fueled by their passion.

Seo Gang-seok, Mayor of Songpa-gu, expressed, “I deeply thank the players who gave their best despite the hot weather. This achievement is a valuable result of the Songpa-gu Women's Football Team’s relentless effort and passion. Congratulations once again to the Songpa-gu Women's Football Team for reaching the top again following their victory at the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism Cup in June.”
