[Suwon Ilbo = Reporter Lee Su-won] The opening ceremony of the artificial turf sports field at Osan Information High School (Principal Ju Hun-ji) located in Cheongbak-dong, Osan City, was held on the 26th.

The artificial turf sports field construction project was one of the priority projects promoted by Osan City to provide safe and pleasant physical education conditions for youth.

Mayor Lee Gwon-jae stated, "I hope all of you students will take pride in being pioneers who pioneer Osan's future and future leaders who will guide the world, and pursue your dreams on this wonderful sports field," and emphasized, "Based on your affection for Osan, I hope you will succeed in various fields and bring glory to Osan, your hometown."

Principal Ju Hun-ji said, "I express my gratitude to Mayor Lee Gwon-jae and all the city officials who have worked with all their hearts to make the artificial turf sports field possible at our school," and added, "Going forward, we will cooperate actively with Osan City and do our best so that our students can grow into next-generation leaders who will drive Korea in various fields."

Meanwhile, Osan Information High School operates Gyeonggi Province's only women's soccer team. The team has participated in the U-20 Women's AFC Asian Cup, and recently player Nam Seung-eun (18) was selected for the national A-match team.
