1935년 조선중앙일보 주최 중국 동화축구단 초청대회의 역사적 의미

초록

Purpose This study sought to explore the historical significance on the invitation tournament of Chinese Donghua Football Club held in Korea under the auspices of Chosun Joongang Ilbo in 1935. Methods This study conducted an archival research utilizing newspapers and magazines from the Japanese colonial period, including the Chosun Joongang Ilbo—which hosted the Chinese Donghua Football Club invitation event—as well as related books and academic papers from Korea, China, and Japan. Results The reason why Chosun Joogang Ilbo hosted the invitation tournament was to prepare for the Japanese football tournaments for selecting Japanese national footballers for the Berlin Olympics. Furthermore, amid fierce competition among newspapers operated by Koreans, Chosun Joogang Ilbo, led by Yeo Woon-hyung organized the tournament to promote itself to the general public. Conclusion Gyungsung Football Club, having gained confidence through their victory over Donghua Club with its formidable speed, went on to win both tournaments with a simiilar football style. With Chosun Joogang Ilbo's massive promotion, this tournament could become the largest international football event in Korea during the Japanese colonial period, with approximately 60,000 spectators gathered over three matches.
