The Jeonbuk Autonomous African Branch (Director: Kim Jong -hoon), who visited Namibia and Zimbabwe for 4 nights and 7 days from the 9th to 15th, visited Bint Hook on the 11th and signed a letter of intent with Namibia Education, Innovation, Youth, Sports, Arts, and Culture (Minister: Sanet Stein Camp).

‘Dream Kids Sports Camp‘ is an exchange program designed to develop friendships and to improve mutual understanding through sports. Jeonbuk and Namibia alternately invite youth to conduct soccer and various sports activities, and promote culture and exchange together.
Starting from this year, Jeonbuk Self-Governing Province has decided to invite the Namibia U-11 youth soccer team in November.
