Kwon Eun-som (Korean: 권은솜; born 13 November 1990) is a South Korean footballer who plays as a midfielder for WK League club Suwon FC and the South Korea women's national team.

Club career

[edit]

In late 2010, Kwon signed with Japanese side INAC Kobe Leonessa, becoming the third Korean woman to play football professionally in Japan.[4][5][6] After winning the 2011 Nadeshiko League with INAC Kobe, Kwon returned to South Korea and joined Goyang Daekyo.[7] With Daekyo, Kwon won her first WK League title in 2012.[8] She also played in the 2012 WK League all-star match.[9]

Following the disbandment of Icheon Daekyo in 2017, Kwon joined Suwon UDC.[10] The club merged with the existing Suwon FC in 2022 and was rebranded as Suwon FC Women.[11] Suwon finished as WK League runners-up in 2023 before lifting the trophy in 2024, qualifying for the 2025-26 AFC Women's Champions League.[12][13] Kwon was named Player of the Match after Suwon beat defending champions Wuhan Jiangda in the quarter-finals of the competition.[14]
