The K-Football Innovation Committee under the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism directly heard voices from the field to promote youth soccer development.

On the 19th, the Innovation Committee held its "7th Meeting and Open Listening Session" at the Grand Hall of Korea Football Park in Cheonan, South Chungcheong Province. All nine committee members, including Park Ji-sung and Yoo Seung-min Gong Dong-wi (Director), along with Choi Hwi-young, Minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism, attended, as well as approximately 80 players, parents, coaches, and soccer fans.

During the three-hour listening session, discussions covered various youth soccer issues, including: lack of stadium infrastructure, expansion of tournaments, safety concerns during extreme heat and cold periods, cost burdens (lesson fees and venue rental), and directions for coach education and league operations.

According to NEWSIS, before the event, Park Ji-sung Gong Dong-wi (Director) stated, "The most important thing I considered while leading the Innovation Committee was how to guide Korean soccer in the future. We held this listening session with the hope of hearing opinions from the field and discussing how we can develop."

He added, "If you share your thoughts from the field without any additions or omissions, we will strive to offer good suggestions on how Korean soccer can improve."

The Innovation Committee, which recently recommended expanding the electoral college for the Han Chuk-gu-hyeop (Chairman) election to 20,000 members and introducing electronic voting, plans to transition to non-face-to-face meetings after this seventh in-person meeting.

In his closing remarks, Park (Chairman) said, "Although we do not know when the next Football Association president election will be held or who will be elected, the Innovation Committee will provide significant support to ensure a smooth process."
