Yeosu City in South Jeolla Province announced on September 1 that it will begin recruiting new members for the local youth soccer team, 'Yeosu Marine FC U-15,' starting in September as part of the team's official launch.

The recruitment is open to sixth-grade elementary school students and middle school students who have both passion and talent for soccer. The final players will be selected through a rigorous skills assessment and physical fitness test.

Local native Coach Joo Gwangsun, who graduated from Yeosu Mipyung Elementary School and Yeosu Gubong Middle School and later played for a professional semi-professional team, plans to take the lead in nurturing local talent. 'Yeosu Marine FC U-15,' which is scheduled for official establishment in March next year, will conduct intensive training after this year's recruitment, aiming to participate in nationwide leagues and tournaments.

A city official stated, "With the founding of the youth soccer team, students can now receive systematic training in the region without having to transfer to other areas," adding, "We hope that, in a stable training environment, players will hone their skills and that a star player like Ko Jongsoo will emerge."
