Korea Polo Federation President's Cup Opens in Jeju... Spotlight on Youth Development Achievements
15 Million Won Invested Over Three Years
The Korea Polo Federation announced on May 18 that it will host the "4th Korea Polo Federation President's Cup, sponsored by Hana Bank," at Jeju Korea Polo Club on June 13.
This tournament will feature the main match with major domestic players, as well as games for youth players who have honed their skills through arena training. The federation stated that this event will serve as an opportunity to assess the results of its ongoing youth development system.
The federation designated Jeju Korea Polo Club as a youth training center and has provided a total budget of 150 million won over the past three years, with 50 million won allocated each year. This initiative aims to establish a youth polo infrastructure, which was previously almost nonexistent in Korea, and to create a systematic elite player development system.
The federation particularly emphasized that the indoor arena, the core facility of the support program, played a decisive role in improving the skills of youth players over the past three years. Despite frequent weather changes in Jeju, the arena enabled stable training, and compared to regular fields, the intense arena training helped young players develop fundamental polo skills and precise handling abilities, according to the federation.
Cho Joonhee, President of the Korea Polo Federation, said, "Fostering youth is the most important investment in the future of Korean polo," and added, "I hope that the support provided over the past three years has laid the foundation for a stable training environment and growth opportunities for young players." He continued, "We will continue to broaden the base of Korean polo through ongoing attention and support."
