Daegu Health University hosted the 3rd Glocal Derby: Handalbich League friendly soccer tournament Friday at Otgol Soccer Field in Buk-gu, Daegu, together with Daejeon Health University and Gwangju Health University.

About 120 players, cheerleaders and faculty members from the three universities took part in the event.

The tournament opened with a ceremony, a ceremonial kickoff and student club performances before the three university teams competed in a round-robin format. Daejeon Health University claimed the title after the semifinals and final, while participating students strengthened ties between the universities by playing and cheering together.

"The Handalbich League is a forum for students from the three universities to share a sense of belonging to a federated university and build friendships through sport," said Kim Young-jun, executive vice president and professor of early childhood education. "We hope the bonds forged on the pitch will lead to new cooperation in academics and a wide range of joint activities going forward."
