Bucheon FC1995 Unified Football Team Park Kyu-tae threw a message in front of the ball that everyone is equal.
Bucheon defeated Incheon United Unified Football Team 3-0 in Group B of the “2024 Special Olympics Korea-K League Unified Cup” held at Suanbo Sports Park in Chungju at 1 p.m. on Sunday. Park Gyu-tae was substituted and played for about 15 minutes.

Lee Sung-jin scored multiple goals in the 6th minute of the second half, and Park Sung-jin sealed the match in the 8th minute of the second half, giving Bucheon a 3-0 complete victory.
A familiar face was seen in Bucheon on the day. Park Kyu-tae, who runs a YouTuber “Gyutae C,” is playing in Bucheon uniform. Park has joined Bucheon Unified Football Team since last year and has been participating in the K-League Unified Cup for two consecutive years.
After the match, Park Kyu-tae said, “I got a call from Bucheon after wearing a ponytail during the 2022 World Cup. I was invited by the club and applied because I heard that they were recruiting players as partners for the unified soccer team. We did it together for the first time last year, and we have been together for two years this year.”
“Until I participated, I had a preconceived notion about developmental disabilities, but that part disappeared while playing soccer together. It was good to be with a special player and partner player as a team member as a good medium of soccer. 토토사이트 I like the meaning of exercising and sweating together, so I’m doing it again this year,” he added.
Park Gyu-tae lives in Bucheon, a place that has never been destroyed. “I live in Seoul, but since I live in Daelim-dong, it takes about 17 minutes to get to Bucheon Sports Complex from Daelim Station. I think Bucheon is closer than Sangam,” Park said.
Bucheon has already achieved this year’s goal. Having recorded three losses in Group A last year, Bucheon aims to have one win in Group B this year. “We asked them to win this time, but they beat them 3-0 in the previous match, and they exceeded their goal. Since they exceeded their goal, they want to rank higher in Group B,” Park said.
Finally, Park Kyu-tae said, “Actually, words are a special player, a partner player, and the sweat part means a lot in front of the ball. I think everyone is the same in front of the ball. I think the K-League is creating an atmosphere and culture that all become one. I hope that this 2024 Special Olympics Korea-K League Unified Cup will bring a lot of interest and send a message that the members of society become one.”
