All Joseon Football Tournament

The All Joseon Football Tournament (Korean: 전조선축구대회; Hanja: 全朝鮮蹴球大會) was the first Korean national football competition, held annually by the Joseon Sports Council or Joseon Football Association. The tournament of the Joseon Sports Council, officially recognized as a predecessor of current Korean FA Cup,^[1] was founded in 1921 and was annually held in Gyeongseong (Keijō) with four divisions according to age. (senior, college, middle-high school, elementary school) The Pyongyang YMCA and Kwanso Sports Council also annually held a tournament with the same name for the same period (1921–1942) in Pyongyang,^[2] but the popularly known competition is Gyeongseong's tournament.

Since 1934, it was merged into the All Joseon Sports Festival, and was contested with other sports.^[3] However, Joseon Sports Council was forcibly disbanded by Japan in 1938, and the Sports Festival was also abolished at the time.^[3] The Joseon Football Association became the new host institution to keep the tournament, but it was finally abolished in 1940.^[2]
