Seoul E-land FC, in partnership with the Gangseo-Yangcheon Office of Education, successfully concluded the middle school futsal tournament '2026 Reul Cup Youth.' Mokdong Middle School claimed the trophy in the girls' division, while Magok Hanui Middle School won the boys' division.
Held for the second time this year, 'Reul Cup Youth' is a community-focused sports festival for middle school students in the Gangseo and Yangcheon districts. Notably, the girls' division was newly added this year, significantly expanding the range of participating students.
The highlight, the final match, was held on the 16th at the main stadium of Mokdong Sports Complex as a pre-event for Seoul E-land's home game. The venue replicated the environment of a professional league, complete with player introductions by the arena announcer, scoreboard displays, and entrance ceremonies, offering participants a special experience. During the halftime awards ceremony, teams receiving group awards were given trophies and E-land gift certificates, while individual award winners, including MVPs and top scorers for each division, received team jerseys as prizes.
The students' enthusiastic participation was also noteworthy. On the day of the final match on the 16th, over 100 students visited the stadium to mount a spirited cheering campaign. Earlier, on the 9th, more than 230 students participated in the preliminary rounds and tournament held at Sinwol Middle School, shedding their sweat. Park Se-jin, a graduate of Yangdong Middle School and the inaugural tournament's MVP, drew attention by visiting the scene as an 'honorary coach' to cheer for his juniors.
Park Ye-bin (2nd year, Mokdong Middle School), who earned the honor of the inaugural girls' division MVP, stated, "I am happy to have won the championship in my final year playing alongside my seniors. I am grateful to the friends who cheered for me at the venue and thank Seoul E-land FC for creating unforgettable memories."
Meanwhile, since signing a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with the Gangseo-Yangcheon Office of Education in 2023 to foster the growth of local youth, Seoul E-land has been carrying out various social contribution activities, including the visiting soccer classroom 'Smile School' and the 'Reul Cup Youth.'
A club official said, "We are delighted to provide a space where young people can run freely and nurture their dreams. In the future, we will cooperate closely with the Office of Education to ensure that local youth can grow healthily through soccer."
