[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] Hapcheon-gun, Gyeongnam announced on the 19th that it will hold a winter training camp with 28 middle and high school soccer clubs and about 1,000 players participating.

Hapcheon-gun is attracting attention as a winter training site due to its mild climate and pleasant environment.

It has established itself as a mecca for winter training camps visited by many soccer teams nationwide.

This training camp will be held without spectators to prevent the spread of the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19).

Participating teams were asked to refrain from visits by parents.

For the safety of residents, only teams that have tested negative for COVID-19 will be allowed to participate in the training, and entry times will be separated to prevent overlap of players and residents in related establishments such as restaurants and bathhouses.

During their stay in the area, detailed movement schedules will be created for each team, and the training camp will be conducted under thorough quarantine measures.

The county expects that although the number of participants has significantly decreased compared to previous years due to the unexpected COVID-19 situation, holding the training camp during the period when the local economy is most depressed will greatly help revitalize the economy.

Moon Jun-hee, mayor of Hapcheon-gun, said, “I hope all players participating in this training camp complete their training safely without any accidents, and through thorough quarantine measures, we will host more soccer tournaments to contribute to the revitalization of the depressed local economy.”
