Teams with a long history and strong organization know what they want without saying a word.
The 2023 season of the K5 Incheon Region League kicked off at Songdo LNG Stadium on the 2nd. Songdo FC and Songwol FC ended the match with a 1-1 draw. Songdo FC conceded an early goal, but quickly equalized to earn a point.
Jang Seul-ki, head coach of Songdo FC, said, “It’s a shame that we couldn’t win the game. It’s quite positive that we got a point despite missing a lot of our main players. It’s unfortunate, but we can be satisfied with our performance.”
Songdo FC is leading the league in the K5 Incheon Region League while keeping the fewest goals against. “We are a team with a long history,” said Jang. The players currently playing in the league are a little older, but they have known each other for a long time, and they usually interact with each other privately in addition to sports, so there is no difficulty in maintaining teamwork or communication,” he said. 메이저도메인
Songdo FC was founded in 1981 and is a powerhouse in the local Incheon soccer tradition. The team is characterized by the fact that most of its players are native Songdo residents. The team also has many international players. Players who played in Japan, Australia, Southeast Asia, Portugal, and elsewhere in their youth are now members of Songdo FC.
Chun Sung-jo, who missed the game against Songwol FC, previously played in the Danish Krieg. He also had a tryout with English Premier League (EPL) side Bolton Wanderers. Park Myung-soo, who recently played for Incheon United and Daejeon Hana Citizen in the K League, is the newest addition to Songdo FC.
Songdo FC has won numerous titles in 30 competitions organized by the Korea Football Association, Incheon Football Association, and Yeonsu-gu Office. Within the division leagues, they won the K7 Yeonsu District League in 2017 and were runners-up in the K6 Incheon Region League in 2018.
Finally, Jang Seul-ki, head coach of Songdo FC, said, “We were relegated last year because we were preparing for the regional soccer tournament at the same time and were not prepared for the division league. This year, we were promoted to K5 again. Our goal this season is to stay in the K5 league. Next year, we will aim to qualify for the FA Cup or the K5 King of Kings.”
