The semi-professional Choongnam Ilhwa Cheonma Women's Soccer Team has been disbanded. Team members are scheduled to be assigned to new teams in a draft scheduled for Dec. 7.
The team was owned and operated by Tongil Sports, Inc., which until recently came under the Tongil Foundation. Control of Tongil Sports, which also owns the more well-known Seongnam Ilhwa Cheonma, was transferred to the FFWPU Mission Foundation, where the decision was made to disband at the end of November.
The team was founded in 2005 and played in the WK-League. Tongil Sports said attempts to find a new owner for the team had been unsuccessful.
