Goalkeeper Kang Soo-hee, a former member of the U-20 women’s soccer team, became the second Korean female soccer player to advance to Europe.
Kang Sue-hee’s agency, Lee Gyeol Sports Agency, said, “Kang Sue-hee has stepped onto the European stage by joining Spanish club CE Europa. With this achievement at just 20 years old, her entry into Europe is expected to present new possibilities in Korean women’s soccer and inspire more junior players.”
Spain won the Australia-New Zealand Women’s World Cup last year. It has reached the final four times in the past four U-20 Women’s World Cups and won three times. 메이저놀이터
Kang kept her goal in succession at the East Asian U-18 Women’s Soccer Tournament in China and Hong Kong held in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia in August last year, and finished both matches without losing a point. “It was not easy to advance to Europe. I was offered by a British team in the first division, but my contract was canceled due to injury,” said Lee Gyeol, a sports agency. “I didn’t give up and received love calls from German, Swiss, and Portuguese teams. My top priority was the opportunity to play. I joined Mainz in Germany, but this is why I finally moved to Spain.”
CE Europa belongs to Spain’s second division. Kang Soo-hee is the second Korean women’s soccer goalkeeper to enter Europe since Yoon Young-gle entered the Danish AGF in 2022.
