Incheon United is introducing a special braille uniform for the first time in Korea.

The Incheon club announced on the 13th, “We have produced a special kit for the 2023 season marked with Hunmaengjeongeum braille for the visually impaired for the first time in domestic professional sports.”

The Incheon 2023 season special kit created this time contains the meaning of aiming for a society united by soccer and the invisible pain of the visually impaired. All black color background, gray tone markings and patches, and the team name is written in Braille on the lower part of the team emblem on the front of the shirt and on the back neck so that the visually impaired can read it with their fingertips.

The time axis was carried out. And the players went out to the game wearing braille marking uniforms that day. Inspired by the braille marking uniforms of the time, the special kit for the 2023 season was marked with Hunmaengjeongeum braille so that visually impaired people could read it with their fingertips, and it was composed of all black and gray tones. The uniform with braille is the first in domestic professional sports.

The team will wear the special kit for the first time in the away game against Gangwon FC in the 7th round of Hanawon Q K League 1 2023 on the 16th, and then in the home game against Suwon FC in the 8th round on the 22nd and the home game against Ulsan Hyundai in the 9th round on the 25th. and run on the pitch. 메이저놀이터

The Incheon club will not stop at producing special kits, but will carry out various social contribution activities to have a positive impact on the local community as a citizen club. First of all, we plan to sponsor this special kit uniform set for the ‘Sochasa (those who kick the sound)’, a soccer club for the visually impaired. In addition, a portion of the sales of this special kit will be donated to the Welfare Center for the Visually Impaired in Incheon. In addition, a special event will be prepared for the second year in a row to remember the Day of the Disabled (April 20) at the home game against Suwon FC on the 22nd.

An official from the Incheon club said, “I am not envious of the passion for football of the visually impaired. Since 2022, the club has been working hard to further revive their passion.” I hope it spreads.”
