The Korea University Football Federation, where new chairman Park Han-dong took office, seeks to expand exchanges between Korea and Japan.

The Korea University Federation has significantly finished its first Denso Cup under the new chairman Park Han-dong. The Denso Cup is a regular competition between Korea and Japan, which has been in effect since 1972. The name has been changed to the Denso Cup since 2004 under the sponsorship of Japanese auto parts company Denso.

Korea lost 0-1 in both the 2025 Denso Cup 1st and 2nd grade championships and exchange matches between college starters in Tokyo, Japan. The championship, which started in 2023, continued its draw and two losses in three matches. Korean college starters suffered four straight losses and had one draw and 10 losses in 11 away matches. Most say that the "gap" between Korea and Japan has widened significantly in recent years.

While the outcome of the Denso Cup is important, the Denso Cup is characterized by exchange. Some say that while acknowledging the gap, Korea should learn what it can learn from Japan. After watching the Denso Cup for the first time in Japan, Park remembered the "change" in her mind again. During the Dennso Cup, Park had in-depth talks with officials from the Japan University Football Federation and the Denso Company.

Regarding the championship for the first and second graders, Park said, "We plan to have a team as a starting team just like a college team." So far, a unified team has emerged. This year, Choi Jae-young, who won the 21st College Football Championship for the first and second graders, will participate in the championship. However, starting next year, the president plans to send a starting team to give more chances to more players in the championship for the first and second graders.

To play for a national team in an away match in Japan is an experience that is valuable to her. After discussing with the Japanese University Football Federation, Park said, "The competition between the first and second graders will be held in Japan every year starting next year. They also exchanged views that Korea and Japan form sisterhood relationships and expand exchanges through warm-up matches. 메이저사이트

Park also said she would speed up the introduction of a standing army for college football, which she pledged to run for during the last campaign. The plan calls for forming standing army for each grade level and conducting call-up drills on a regular basis. The plan also calls for hiring coaches for different grades to give continuity and systemicity to the general manager. The winds of change that follow Park's inauguration are also being felt at the Denso Cup, a venue for Korea-Japan exchanges that have continued for decades.
