Apr 03, 2025

Suwon Samsung has taken the campaign of 'Blue Sprout', a representative regional social contribution activity, to a new level and launched 'Visiting Blue Sprout'. Going beyond the previous method of distributing club T-shirts to elementary school students in Suwon, the team coach visited the school in person and conducted physical education classes.

The 'Visiting Blue Sprout' campaign successfully completed its first class at Mangpo Middle School on the 2nd, and will be held for about 2,000 students in a total of 20 schools by November. Through this, Suwon said it plans to build closer relationships with local communities and spread the joy of soccer to future generations.

Suwon ran the 'Blue Sprout campaign by providing club t-shirts to a total of 47,329 elementary school freshmen for six years from 2019 to 2024. Based on these achievements, we plan to provide students with more practical opportunities to experience soccer through the 'Visiting Blue Sprout' campaign, which has evolved into a more regional approach.

Cho Kyung-young, a scholar at the Suwon Education Support Office in Gyeonggi Province, who supports the campaign, said, `The visiting green sprout campaign is expected to be a great opportunity for students to learn soccer and enjoy physical activities directly from professional leaders of local professional teams" "It is expected to have a positive impact on the revitalization of sports in the Suwon area."

Meanwhile, all students participating in the campaign will be provided with luggage colors (sports bags) produced by Suwon, and all students of participating schools will also be provided with an opportunity to visit Suwon Samsung's home games. Through this, students will be able to experience the heat of professional soccer directly in the stadium and develop their interest in soccer.

Coach Joo Hyun-ho, who is in charge of coaching this campaign, is from Suwon Youth and has played as a K-League player in Suwon and Ansan. In addition, he has a C-level license as a leader of the Korea Football Association and a second-level professional sports leader of the National Sports Promotion Agency, and has been working as a coach at Suwon Academy's Gyeonggi Gwangju branch since 2023 to gain experience in coaching youth soccer. Based on abundant experience, it will provide high-quality soccer education to students.

Suwon said it will continue to do its best to share the joy of soccer through various programs with local communities and foster future soccer dreamers.
