Busan U-15, led by head coach Park Hyung-joo, won the final match of the '2025 GROUND.N K League U15 Championship' against Jeonbuk Hyundai U-15 at Cheonan Football Center's main stadium with a 4-3 victory after a penalty shootout. This was Busan's first U15 Championship final, and it enjoyed the joy of achieving the championship.
Coach Park met with reporters after the game and said, `I want to give credit to the players who played hard even in the hot weather and thank them for their hard work", he expressed his feelings.
The game was even a penalty shootout after a close game that went through the first, second half and extra time. It was a victory after a difficult process of going around the stadium for a long time in hot weather, which even adult players find difficult. Coach Park said "Jeonbuk has such good members and good players, so we prepared it thinking it would be difficult for us to do well." He said, "Let's do high pressing and press around the goal." The players did a good job until the end. That part was the driving force for us to win."
Busan lost 1-3 against Jeonbuk, the first match of the tournament. However, he erased the memory of his defeat and beat Jeonbuk. Coach Park said, `In the first game, we didn't back down, we kept pressing. In the process, he scored a goal in the first half but conceded three goals in the second half. We used both pressure and local defense with the idea of stepping down when we stepped down and pressing when we pressed. I even arranged my physical strength. The driving force was to prevent the opponent from doing well.'

Busan won the Youth Championship until the U-15 after the U-18 to achieve the milestone of winning the first middle and high school in the history of the tournament. Coach Park, who worked as a youth team leader in Busan for seven years from 2011, cited the club's interest as the reason. He is very interested in fostering young players at the club. Wouldn't that have resulted in today's results. He did not spare any part in fostering, and he said, "We help the national team and team employees do well in youth development."
Coach Park also mentioned that the performance of Busan U-18, which won the championship earlier, also came as a great motivation for U-15. He said "I thought it would not be easy because it was one win and three losses against Jeonbuk. And the more I went up, the more I felt pressure. The older brothers did a good job, so I said I could do it, let's do it. That is the result of the day."
