다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Politics and sports are different, but closely linked among the various social systems. Politics and sports are very similar in terms of the use of symbols and the exchange of symbols. This study analyzed the past meaning and present meaning of Kyungpyong football match, Kyungsung and Pyongyang, which were played meaningfully with the sports history in Korea. In 1929, the Japanese colonial period, KyungPyong football match started as a sport itself, but in addition to the competition and joy of sports, it also played a role in the independence of Korea. KyungPyong football match had been stopped with eight games until 1946 and ninth game in 1990. The followings are meanings of these nine games. KyungPyong football match plays a role of the pursuit of national identity, the show of national ability, the beginning of spectator sports, the start of home and away sports, the start of sports broadcasting, and the start of comprehensive sports events. Finally, this study argues that we should continue the KyungPyong football match regardless of the political situation of the neighboring countries around Korea.
