Seoul E-Land FC has established a new sports career experience program for local youth, building a social contribution system tailored to the growth stages of elementary, middle, and high school students.

According to Seoul E-Land on the 27th, the club will debut the "Sports Career Experience with Seoul E-Land FC" program at the home game against Jeonnam in Round 32 of the Hana Bank K League 2 2026 season, scheduled for November 7 at Mokdong Stadium. The event is being held in collaboration with the Gangseo-Yangcheon Education Support Office.

The club has previously operated "Smile School," a visiting soccer class for elementary school students, and the "Leul Cup Youth," a local futsal tournament for middle school students. By adding a career experience program for middle and high school students, the club has expanded its support scope beyond simple sports participation to include exploring careers within the sports industry.

Participation enthusiasm is reportedly high. The club stated, "Registration for middle school second-graders through high school third-graders within the Gangseo and Yangcheon districts filled up within two days. The club increased the number of participants beyond its original plan and closed registration early with 45 students."

The program utilizes an actual home game venue as an educational setting. It begins with a career lecture by the CEO, followed by tours of off-field facilities such as the Leul Shop to explore the duties of club staff. Participants then tour the team's locker room and bus, and join the "On-Field" program, which includes watching players warm up from the bench on the field. The schedule concludes with a Q&A session with club staff and viewing of the home game against Jeonnam.

A club official said, "We hope this will be an opportunity for youth considering their career paths to directly witness the professional sports scene, encounter diverse professional worlds, and discover new career directions."

Since signing a memorandum of understanding with the Gangseo-Yangcheon Education Support Office in 2023, Seoul E-Land has consistently carried out social contribution activities targeting local youth.
