A total of 30 teams competed for the championship in Siheung, this year's first competition. The winner Football Eye reached the final by winning the remaining matches after a 1-1 draw in the first group qualifying match.
The final opponent was the team one-touch FS. One Touch FS met the favorite teams one after another from the round of 16 tournaments to the semifinals, but defeated them all to reach the final. In particular, in the quarterfinals, he made an unusual scene, winning last year's championship championship championship team 'Guys' after a close game leading to a penalty shootout.
The gust of one-touch FS stopped in front of Football Eye. Football Eye, who showed off his level skills, led the game without losing concentration throughout the game. In the end, he won the championship with a complete 3-0 victory.
The winning team Football Eye is a traditional powerhouse that has been participating every year since 2022 when the competition first began. Starting with winning the inaugural championship in 2022, he finished second in the 2023 and 2024 championships, and also participated in the 2023 global competition in Istanbul as a Korean representative.

Kim Jung-min, who won the MVP of the tournament, said "Honestly, I thought it would be easier than the championship because it was a regional qualifying tournament, but I struggled from the first game. On the contrary, the game became a vaccination shot, so I didn't lose my concentration and won the championship," he said. Then "I was so sorry that I couldn't go to London, where the global competition was held last year. This year, I will prepare well with my team members to win the championship and definitely go to München as a Korean representative."
Meanwhile, the competition, which has been held since 2022, is the nation's top youth futsal competition hosted by sports marketing company HNS and participated by Gatorade as a partner. This year, the top-performing teams will gather after holding regional qualifiers in three regions (Siheung, Seoul, and Pyeongtaek) to hold a championship at HM Futsal Park Siheung on April 5.
The competition will also serve as a selection match for the Korean national team to compete in the '2025 GATORADE 5v5 GLOBAL FINALS' held in Munich, Germany in the first half of the year. The championship winners will be given the opportunity to participate in the world tournament as a representative of Korea.
