Lee Seung-won

Lee Seung-won (; born 6 March 2003) is a South Korean footballer who currently plays as a midfielder for Gangwon. Club career Lee played for a number of teams in Yongin in the Gyeonggi Province of South Korea before his performance at the 2021 National High School Competition, where he won the best player award, caught the attention of a number of professional clubs. However, after breaking his toe during a tournament, he was forced to reconsider his options, and eventually enrolled at the Dankook University in 2022. After playing at Dankook University in the U-League, a number of scouts from K League 1 side Gangwon came to watch Lee, as well as club CEO Lee Young-pyo. At the end of the university season, Gangwon announced that they had signed Lee ahead of the 2023 season. In his first season, he represented Gangwon's 'B' team in the K4 League. International career Lee first started representing South Korea at under-19 level in 2022, where he captained the side at a friendly tournament in Lisbon, Portugal. He was called up to the under-20 side in January 2023, for a training camp in Murcia, Spain. The following month, coach Kim Eun-jung called him to the side for the 2023 AFC U-20 Asian Cup, where he was named captain. In the first match, against Oman, which ended in a 4–0 win, Lee intercepted a misplaced Omani pass in the first half, before dribbling the ball to the edge of the area and laying it off for Kim Yong-hak to finish to make it 1–0.
