Woo Seo-bin (born 13 April 2004) is a South Korean footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Seoul City Amazones and the South Korea national team.
Youth career
Woo began playing football at elementary school, and wanted to play as a goalkeeper from a young age.[1] She continued her training at Pohang Hangdo Middle School alongside contemporaries Jeon Yu-gyeong and Park Soo-jeong.[2] The trio were among those called up to play for South Korea at the 2019 AFC U-16 Women's Championship.[3] Woo went on to play for Pohang Electronic Girls' High School. In her final year, the team achieved a 'treble' by winning the U-18 divisions of the Spring Korea Women's Football Championship, the Fall Korea Women's Football Championship, and the National Sports Festival.[4] As a youth, Woo cited South Korean men's national team goalkeeper Jo Hyeon-woo as a role model.[5]
Woo's footballing success continued at Uiduk University. In 2023, Uiduk won three domestic tournaments.[6] Woo also earned individual praise, receiving the goalkeeper award at the 22nd National Women's Football Championship.[7]
In the 2024 season, Uiduk won four domestic titles, earning the University Team award at the Develon 2024 Korea Women's Football Awards, where Woo was also presented with the Best Goalkeeper (university division) award.[8] During the season Woo had also picked up the Best Goalkeeper award at the 2024 Spring Korea Women's Football Championship, and received particular attention for her performance in the penalty shootout held to determine the winner of the 105th National Sports Festival.[6][9]
Club career
Woo was selected by Seoul City as their first round pick at the 2025 WK League draft, signing a three-year contract with the club.[10] She made her league debut in Seoul's first round fixture against Gyeongju KHNP. Woo was named Player of the Match after the 2025 WK League playoff match between Seoul and Incheon Hyundai Steel Red Angels, which saw Seoul progress to the championship final for the first time in twelve years.[11]

In 2022, while still at high school, Woo was named in South Koreaโs squad for the 2022 FIFA U-20 Womenโs World Cup.[12][13]At the 2024 FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup, Woo played a key role in South Korea's victory over Germany, which saw them progress to the Round of 16.[14][15]At the tournament, South Korea conceded only two goals in four matches.[16] Despite the team's exit from the competition after a loss to Colombia in the Round of 16, Woo was praised for her timing and judgment under pressure.[17]
Woo received her first senior call-up for South Korea in 2025 under manager Shin Sang-woo.[18][19][20]She was a member of the South Korean squad that won the 2025 EAFF E-1 Football Championship.[21][22][1]
