Seoul E-Land FC carried out a youth-focused campaign aimed at raising awareness about cyber gambling and child safety during its recent Hana Bank K League 2 home match against Seongnam FC. The initiative was held in collaboration with the Seoul Yangcheon Police Station, as reported by The Chosun Daily.

The campaign was organized in collaboration with the Seoul Yangcheon Police Station and featured a series of interactive activities outside Mokdong Sports Complex. Experiential missions combining soccer and anti-gambling messages, including quiz roulette, OX goal quizzes, foot putting and football darts, were set up in multiple locations and drew more than 600 participants. Anti-gambling quiz events also took place inside the stadium and received strong engagement from fans.

Family-oriented programs were also highlighted. A child fingerprint pre-registration booth to help prevent abductions, children’s police uniform experiences and a police car photo zone attracted steady participation from parents and young supporters.

Before kickoff, Seoul E-Land and the Yangcheon Police Station signed a memorandum of understanding to strengthen ongoing cooperation. Police Chief Hong Seok-won participated in the ceremonial kickoff, and a video featuring Seoul E-Land players promoting the Youth Gambling Eradication Campaign was shown on the stadium screen.

Police officials noted that illegal gambling sites have increasingly targeted middle and high school students, prompting efforts to raise awareness through interactive educational activities.

Seoul E-Land previously conducted gambling prevention education for approximately 230 middle school students during a local futsal tournament and plans to continue supporting youth initiatives as part of its broader community outreach efforts.
