History

The Korea Cup was created with the name President's Cup Football Tournament (Korean: 박대통령컵 쟁탈 아시아축구대회; simply known as Park's Cup) by the Korea Football Association in 1971,[2][3] and was contested between South Korea national team and Asian teams to develop them. It changed its name to President Park's Cup Football Tournament (Korean: 박대통령컵 쟁탈 국제축구대회) in 1976, and invited not only Asian teams, but also teams of other continents since that year.[4] It once again changed its name to President's Cup International Football Tournament (Korean: 대통령배 국제축구대회) in 1979,[5][6]and the latest Korea Cup appeared in 1995.
