The second phase plans to build a multipurpose gymnasium, archery range, baseball field, etc., by 2024 with a budget of 18.8 billion KRW (7.5 billion KRW national funds, 11.3 billion KRW local funds).

The county operates a total of 54 public sports facilities across 11 towns and townships, including two comprehensive stadiums, two indoor gymnasiums, six soccer fields, seven jokgu fields, 20 gateball courts, five tennis courts, and 12 other facilities.

Seo Chun-su, the mayor of Hamyang-gun, said, “As COVID-19 continues, various competitions have been canceled, preventing residents from having adequate conditions to exercise and athletes from fully showcasing their skills. We will continue to work harder to expand the base of professional and recreational sports and to establish a foundation for systematic athlete development and intensive training.”
