[Edaily Starin Gim Ga Yeong Reporter] SBS’s “Goal-Scoring Girls” will feature “Dream Anaconda’s” epic journey to reclaim the name “FC Anaconda.”

In the episode of “Goal-Scoring Girls” airing on the 1st, viewers will follow FC Anaconda—once dubbed the “icon of defeat and tears”—as they face a decisive qualifying match in their quest to rejoin the league. FC Anaconda was forced to leave the league after suffering two dismissals and a dismal record of 2 wins and 17 losses in 19 matches. In the meantime, the remaining “Goal Girls” teams have grown even stronger, and the view that Anaconda’s return will be a difficult challenge has become widespread. As FC Anaconda stands once again at the gateway of destiny, curiosity is mounting as to whether they can defy expectations and prove the possibility of a comeback.
To help FC Anaconda make a comeback, the production team launched a large-scale open recruitment drive. After a fierce audition process, only six out of a total of 28 applicants were selected, and the project team “Kkumteulconda” was formed alongside existing members Noh Yoon-ju, Park Ji-hye, and Bae Hye-ji. To fill the void left by the departure of the starting goalkeeper, “impenetrable goalkeeper” Si Eun-mi—a former volleyball program reporter—was recruited, completing the 10-member “Kkumteulconda” roster. Head coach Lee Young-pyo, known as the “top-winning coach” who won the first and second G-Leagues back-to-back, was appointed to lead the team. Coach Lee Young-pyo expressed his strong determination, stating, “When Anaconda returns, we must not remain a ‘losing team’ again.” The newly formed “Wriggling Anaconda” embodies the determination and fighting spirit to rise again and reclaim the name FC Anaconda. All eyes are on whether the “Wriggling Anaconda,” united by a desperate drive to reclaim their lost name, will be able to achieve a valuable victory.
This exhibition match is a crucial contest that will determine whether FC Anaconda joins the league next season. Reports indicate that if they win, “Kkumteulkonda” will return to the league under the name FC Anaconda, but if they lose, they will once again face an indefinite wait. On the day of the exhibition match, as the “Kkumteulkonda” members entered the locker room, they saw white vests hanging in place of their uniforms and were struck by the reality that they still could not wear the “FC Anaconda” uniform. Founding member Bae Hye-ji even shed tears, saying, “It was so sad that I couldn’t wear the FC Anaconda uniform for today’s exhibition match.” All eyes are now on whether Kkumteulkonda—which has overcome two disbandments to return to the starting line—will be able to take the field under the name FC Anaconda.
