A total of four teams took part in the tournament, which the corporation directly organized and hosted: Seo-gu Queen's A and B, made up of participants in its free women's soccer lessons program, as well as Brillante FS and LIT (Ritz). About 100 people, including players, family members, and officials, attended.


The competition was held in a round-robin format followed by placement matches. The players showcased the skills they had honed and shared a spirit of camaraderie, cheering and encouraging one another regardless of the results.


The tournament was particularly meaningful because it created an opportunity for local women's soccer clubs to come together and participate using a public sports facility.


The corporation has continued its efforts to promote women's participation in recreational sports. In July, it entered a Seo-gu Queen's team made up of participants in its free women's soccer lessons program in the Queen's Shine Cup, organized by Gwangju FC.



Jeong Yong-uk, chairman of the Seo-gu Facilities Management Corporation, said, "It is meaningful that participation sparked by our free women's soccer lessons is leading to actual tournaments and exchanges among local clubs. We will continue to strengthen cooperation with local sports organizations and related institutions, and help women participate in sports on an ongoing basis."
