This project, which marks its sixth year this year, is part of the 'I'm a Shootdori' project sponsored by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and the National Sports Promotion Agency, aimed at discovering talented soccer prospects and creating a youth soccer boom through open auditions.
In particular, unlike before, this year, it will recruit general students, not elite players, to expand the base of life soccer and soccer infrastructure. The application qualification is for male and female children of South Korean nationality born between January 1, 2013 and December 31, 2015, and all students except those enrolled in the Korea Football Association (Type 1) can apply. Applications will be available through the TV Chosun website from the 29th to October 6th.
The first preliminary round for applicants will be held at Cheonan Korea Football Center for two days on October 11 and 12, and 13 final successful applicants will be selected through three domestic auditions. The 13 finalists will also compete in the Surf Cup, which will be held in Salu, Spain.
The Korea Football Association said, `Many players have won the Cha Bum-keun Football Award, such as Han Kook-hee (Pohang Women's High School) who appeared in the first phase of the project and Hwang Seok-hyun (Gangneung Only One FC), who appeared in the fourth phase of the project,' adding, `I hope that this year as well as the 'I am a Shootdol' project will produce many talents who will play for the Korean national team in the future and contribute to the expansion of the base of daily soccer.'
Hidden FC: Find a Hidden Korean Shootdori is organized by the Korea Football Association and sponsored by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and the Korea Sports Promotion Foundation.
TV Chosun and global marketing communication company Innocean will be in charge of the production and operation of the broadcast, and the audition and participation process in overseas competitions will be broadcast on the TV Chosun channel in December.
