Goyang City Hall Women’s Tennis Team Claims Victory at 1st Korea Industrial Tennis Federation Tournament
The Goyang City Hall women’s tennis team has ascended to the top of the podium at the 1st Korea Industrial Tennis Federation Tournament and 2026 National Individual Tennis Tournament. In a hard-fought final held on April 5 in Hamyang, Gyeongnam, Goyang City Hall secured the championship by defeating the Busan Metropolitan City Sports Council with a narrow 3-2 overall victory.
The triumph marks a significant milestone for the program under the leadership of head coach Lee Su-ho, whose appointment has coincided with the team’s return to the top of the team competition standings.
A Dramatic Final in Hamyang
The women’s final was a contest of endurance and nerves, with the lead shifting throughout the event. The match remained deadlocked at 2-2 following the singles rubbers, pushing the championship to a decisive doubles match to determine the winner.
One of the pivotal moments of the tie occurred during the second singles match. Ha Sun-min of Goyang City Hall delivered a dominant performance, defeating Lee Eun-ji of the Busan Metropolitan City Sports Council in straight sets, 6-3, 6-2. This victory provided Goyang City Hall with critical momentum and a strategic advantage heading into the closing stages of the competition.
For those unfamiliar with the format, these industrial federation tournaments often serve as a primary benchmark for the strength of corporate and municipal teams in South Korea, blending professional-level play with regional representation.
Men’s Division: Korea Armed Forces Athletic Corps Dominates
While the women’s side saw a nail-biting finish, the men’s division concluded with a more decisive result. The Korea Armed Forces Athletic Corps (KAFAC) captured the men’s team title by defeating Gimpo City Hall with a 3-1 scoreline.
The dual victories for Goyang City Hall and KAFAC cement their current status as the premier forces in the industrial tennis circuit for the early 2026 season.
