Kumho Tire announced on August 6 that it will sponsor the '2025 Hwarangdaegi National Youth Soccer Tournament', which is hosted by Gyeongju City and the Korea Football Association.
The Hwarangdaegi Tournament is the largest youth soccer competition in the country and has established itself as a hub for nurturing future soccer talents in South Korea.
This year, the tournament will see participation from 765 teams?166 more teams and approximately 3,000 more people than last year?with around 15,000 participants playing in 2,292 matches.
Kumho Tire is sponsoring the tournament again this year, following last year's support, as part of its ongoing efforts to contribute to the development of youth soccer and to support the healthy growth of children and teenagers, who represent the next generation.
Kumho Tire will hold a variety of events for participating teams, parents, and visitors at the '2025 Hwarangdaegi National Youth Soccer Tournament'.
In particular, under the slogan "Future National Team Players, Cheered On by Kumho Tire," the company will operate a photo zone featuring life-size cutouts of key players from overseas soccer clubs sponsored by Kumho Tire. Customers who visit the photo zone will receive special gift packages, and a range of SNS events will also be held.
By following the official Kumho Tire Instagram account and uploading photos from the Hwarangdaegi event to their personal SNS channels, customers can enter a drawing for additional prizes.
Additionally, customers who purchase Kumho Tire products will receive a GS Caltex X Emart combined mobile gift certificate (for purchases of two or four tires), and all visitors will be given tire discount coupons.
