The Korea Professional Football Federation said on the 9th that "HD Football Day x K League" with the federation and HD Hyundai Electric, the official energy partner of the K League, was held at Tongnat Stadium in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, on the 7th."

HD Football Day x K League is a social contribution activity that supports Vietnamese children's dreams through soccer and pursues the expansion of the K League's Asian market and the practice of social responsibility of HD Hyundai Electric. The slogan is "Highlight Your Dream," which means supporting children to discover possibilities and challenge their dreams through soccer.

The event is the second program following the first event held in Hanoi in October last year, and is designed to convey a message of dream and hope to children in southern Vietnam through soccer.

According to the federation, Kim Sang-sik, who leads the Vietnamese national soccer team, Lee Woon-jae, Lee Jung-soo, and Vietnamese national team player Bui Bihao participated in the event as special coaches to guide the children themselves. Participants were selected through open recruitment on the website, and the number of applicants increased significantly from the original plan of 100, with the final 140 children experiencing the joy of soccer through basic training and team programs such as dribbling and passing.

Lee Chang-ho, vice president of HD Hyundai Electric, said, "Football is a sport that can win when you are together as a team, not alone. Just as HD Hyundai Electric supplies energy to the world, I hope you will give off your passionate energy to your heart's content in this playground."

Coach Kim Sang-sik then said in his welcoming speech, "The most important thing in football is not to give up. Through this event, I hope you will learn not only your soccer skills, but also your confidence in yourself and your attitude toward your dreams," he encouraged.
