Jeon Ga-eul is a striker who made her debut as a senior national team member in the 2007 Beijing Olympic qualifier match against Vietnam, and scored 38 goals in 101 international matches, including a friendly match against Iceland in 2019.
Her 38 goals in her A match ranks second on the all-time list of Korean female players, following Ji So-yeon (Seattle, 70 goals).
He contributed to Korea’s first-ever advance to the round of 16 of the Women’s World Cup by scoring against Costa Rica in the group stage of the 2015 Canada Women’s World Cup, and also contributed to winning bronze medals in three consecutive Asian Games (2010, 2014, 2018).
On the adult stage, starting with Suwon Facilities Management Corporation (currently Suwon FC) in 2008, he played for Incheon Hyundai Steel, Hwacheon KSPO, and Sejong Sports Toto in the WK League.
In 2010, he took the lead in the team’s first WK League win at the Suwon Facilities Management Corporation and received the Most Valuable Player Award (MVP) in the championship game, and won the WK League championship trophy three more times (2013, 2014, 2015) at Hyundai Steel.
She was loaned to Western New York Flash in the United States in 2016, becoming the first Korean female player to play in the United States.
She also played for Melbourne Victory in Australia and Bristol City and Reading in England.
On this day, Jeon Ga-eul, who served as a ‘match ball carrier’ carrying the used ball before the start of the match against the Philippines, received a commemorative trophy from Korea Football Association President Chung Mong-gyu at the retirement ceremony held after the first half.
Kim Hye-ri (Hyundai Steel) and Cho So-hyun (Birmingham City), who represented the players, presented uniforms with commemorative photo frames, and the national team supporters, the Red Devils and their families, also came to the ground to congratulate Jeong-eul, who is starting his ‘second life’.
Jeon Ga-eul said, “I have achieved nothing on my own until I am standing in this glorious position.
“I think I was a lucky player because I had my teammates,” he said, shedding tears.
He added, “I received a lot of help, so I will live an exemplary life as a soccer player and a person who can help in the future and give good energy.”
