History

The Korea Cup was created with the name President's Cup Football Tournament by the Korea Football Association in 1971,[note 1][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 in 1976, and invited not only Asian teams, but also teams of other continents since that year.[4] It was renamed previous President's Cup Football Tournament in 1979,[note 2][5] and President's Cup International Football Tournament in 1987.
