Football at the U-League is an event of the U-League and a university football competition in South Korea. South Korean university football clubs were originally participating in the Korean National University Football League, founded by the Korea University Football Confederation in 1965, but the Korea Football Association created its new league competition for university clubs in 2008. The U-League was founded as a football league, but currently manages a variety of sports. It is not included in the South Korean football league system.
