WK League News

The KWFF Awards took place in Seoul on Wednesday afternoon, with players, coaches, teams and officials from across the country gathered to celebrate the 2025 women’s football season. The ceremony was divided into two parts, with the first part honouring the achievements of youth players and the second part celebrating the WK League. Sadly there was no award for ‘best dressed’, but if there were, it would have gone to Gwangyang Central Elementary School. The team showed up to the event in style, rocking matching tuxedos. Cute, smart, and showing themselves some self-respect — quite rightly so after a hugely successful season.
