The Korea Professional Football Federation (President Kwon Oh-gap, hereinafter 'Federation') conducted volunteer activities with Yongin FC and Paju Frontier FC on the 5th to mark 'Volunteer Day'. The two clubs are new teams that will participate in the K League 2 starting next year and participated in this activity to spread the culture of sharing in their region.

First, 25 executives and employees of the Federation and Yongin FC visited the Senior Welfare Center's Senior Citizen's Restaurant in Yongin City to provide lunch service to the elderly. The activities were joined by Han Woong-soo, vice president of the Federation, Choi Hee-hak, CEO of Yongin FC, and Choi Yoon-kyum, director of the team, to help distribute food and support the site.

On the same afternoon, 34 executives and employees of the Federation and Paju Frontier FC carried out briquette sharing activities for vulnerable people in Paju. The meeting was attended by Park Sung-kyun, secretary-general of the Federation, Kim Jung-yeol, chairman of Paju Frontier FC, Hwang Bo-jang, and officials from Paju Sports Department.




In particular, the federation donated a total of 5 million won worth of briquettes with the K League Association of the Social Contribution Foundation.

The federation has been continuing its volunteer activities with local close activities with new K-League clubs, not just one-off activities. The federation conducted kimchi service with Hwaseong FC last year, and in 2022, it conducted various volunteer activities with Cheonan City FC and Chungcheongbuk-do Cheongju FC at the new club's hometown, including briquettes sharing and nursery service.

On the other hand, the cost of the activity and donations were made by K League executives and employees' '1% salary donations'. Since 2013, the "1% Salary Donation Campaign" has been a social contribution activity in which league members, including league executives, referees, and technical committee members, donate 1% of their salaries every month, and the fund has been used to expand the soccer base and support the underprivileged.
