A moment of harmony through the local Bentoho Young Blood volunteer clinic for the World Cup

The “Young Guns” of the Korea national football team, who are participating in the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, have spent a significant time in harmony with local volunteers through football.

Lee Kang-in (Mallorca), Jung Woo-young (Fribourg), Baek Seung-ho, Song Min-gyu, Song Bum-keun (above Jeonbuk) and Yoon Jong-gyu (Seoul) attended the “Community Event” of the FIFA held on the 16th at the Al Egla Training Center in Doha, Qatar, the training ground of the national team.

National team coaches Michael Kim and Choi Tae-wook have reunited.

The community event is an event planned by FIFA before the World Cup and consists of 10 programs related to competition promotion, cultural exchange and football development.

Each participating country must participate in one of these programs, and after consulting the coaches, the national team chose the “Coaching with Volunteers” program, which provides football training for volunteers, and implemented it that day.

The players and the 20 volunteers were divided into three groups, exchanged passes and then matched their feet with a shot at the goal post, and a “penalty kick match” took place in which the volunteers kicked and blocked players.

The players cheered and cheered on the volunteers who showed off their wonderful footwork, and cheered on the awkward ones.

Lulua Bukarbal, who studies architecture at Qatar University, received particularly loud applause for kicking a ball while wearing a hijab and carrying a national flag on her shoulder.

She said in Korean, “Since I was young, I watched a lot of Korean dramas and broadcasts, so I learned Korean naturally.” He added, “I bought a new Taegeukgi to come here.

I’m so excited and my heart is shaking.” He smiled.

“It’s an honor to be with great players – he said – Please win without conditions.

fight!” and rooted for Korea.

The players signed autographs on the balls brought by the volunteers and took photos, leaving memories.

Lee Kang-in said, “It was fun and good to spend time with people who helped me a lot for the tournament,” and Baek Seung-ho also said, “It was time to heal while training.”

On the 17th, the national team plans to train twice a day for the first time since entering the country.
