The Korean Women's Football Federation (KWFF) university selection team was completely defeated in the regular match between Korea and Japan in Japan, realizing the high wall of the international stage.
The Korean university selection team, led by head coach Ko Ko-hee, lost 0-9 to the All-Japan University Federation team in the 4th Denso Cup Korea-Japan Women's University Football Regular held at Wavve Stadium Gariya, Nagoya, Japan on the 15th.
In the tournament, which marks its fourth anniversary this year, South Korea concluded its schedule by confirming the difference in skills with the Japanese university selection team and leaving a task.
According to the federation, the result was a big 0-9 loss, but South Korean players focused on gaining practical experience by fighting until the end even in an unfamiliar away environment. Kim Se-bin (Wideok University) was selected as Korea's best player on the day, and Sakura Yanagihara was listed in Japan.

Coach Ko Ki-hee said through the federation after the game, "I did my best playing confidently even in unfamiliar environments," adding, "This experience will be a great asset for the growth of our players, who will become the future of Korean women's soccer."
Captain Kim Da-hyun (Korea University) also emphasized learning on the international stage. "I was nervous playing on the international stage for the first time, but it was a time to learn and feel a lot in the game with Japanese players," Kim Da-hyun said. "As we trust each other and play until the end and build teamwork with our colleagues, we will try to show you a better growth based on this experience."
Based on the difference in international competitiveness identified through this competition, the Korean Women's Football Federation plans to steadily expand related programs so that college players and prospects can gain experience in various environments.
