The event was attended by about 140 youth players from three cities and counties. The participants were divided into three age-based groups, and each group was further split into four teams, with matches taking place simultaneously at three different fields. Throughout the games, the players demonstrated both energy and seriousness as they competed, experiencing firsthand the values of healthy competition and cooperation through sports.

In particular, 200 soccer balls personally signed by Coach Cha Bumkun were given to the participants, leaving a deep impression. The signed balls became a meaningful memory for the young players and served as an inspiration to fuel their passion for soccer.

Governor Gong Youngmin stated, "I feel reassured seeing the children develop not only their soccer skills but also their character and teamwork under the guidance of Coach Cha Bumkun and his excellent coaching staff," and added, "We will provide full support to ensure that the Cha Bumkun Soccer School becomes a representative sports content of Goheung."

Coach Cha Bumkun said, "The League Boom Festival is a valuable opportunity for local youth players to gain real-game experience and build friendships as they interact with 'Cha Boom.' I will continue to work hard to promote youth soccer in the future."

Meanwhile, the Cha Bumkun Soccer School is a youth soccer program operated by Team Chaboom, a non-profit organization chaired by Coach Cha Bumkun. Since 1988, it has been running youth soccer classes and expanded its operations to regions such as Goheung and Muju starting in 2023.
