[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Hyo-jin] The National Credit Union Federation of Korea announced on the 25th that it will sponsor operating expenses and sports equipment worth a total of 215 million KRW to 16 schools nationwide to revitalize local sports organizations and nurture young sports talents.

The school sports organization sponsorship project is a social contribution initiative that began in 2019 with the badminton team of Daegu High School, supporting school sports organizations in less popular sports or those considered promising in the future. The Credit Union supports the dreams of athletes striving for good results in challenging environments and discovers and nurtures outstanding athletes by providing sports goods and equipment so they can grow their dreams in better conditions.

At the handover ceremony held yesterday at the Credit Union Federation Hall located in Dunsan-dong, Seo-gu, Daejeon, Kim Yoon-sik, Chairman of the National Credit Union Federation, said, “Sports, a symbol of peace and hope, play a significant role especially in difficult and challenging times. The Credit Union, which has always shone light on marginalized and difficult places, will now deliver new hope to the youth in local communities through support for young sports talents.”

Meanwhile, athletes from the 16 local sports organizations selected for this year’s project will promote the Credit Union through uniforms sponsored by the Credit Union and spread the spirit of sharing through sports.
