[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Dongguk Lee] On the 17th, Mayor Kangdeok Lee of Pohang visited the Pohang Sports Complex area to inspect the site of the 60th Gyeongbuk Provincial Sports Festival preliminary competition (badminton) and the construction site of the sports complex.


The first preliminary event, badminton, will be held for four days from June 17 to 20 at the Pohang Indoor Gymnasium, with 409 executives and athletes from 23 cities and counties in the province participating.


On this day, Mayor Lee welcomed and encouraged executives of the city and provincial sports councils, federation officials, and athletes, saying, “Since the 48th Provincial Sports Festival, it has been 12 years since our city has hosted the festival normally. Pohang should not only take a step forward but also focus on friendly competition centered on harmony rather than ranking competition to create a grand unity where 3 million provincial residents become one.”


He checked and inspected the facility preparations at the main stadium, Pohang Sports Complex, and urged, “Please ensure thorough measures so that athletes from cities and counties in the province can perform their skills under the best conditions through perfect renovation and repair of the stadium facilities.”



Pohang City is completing a full remodeling project by investing a total project cost of 24.5 billion KRW, including 8 billion KRW of national and provincial funds, for interior and exterior painting and waterproofing of the sports complex, replacement and installation of electronic scoreboards and spectator seats, renovation of offices and restrooms, facility improvements such as canopies, windows, offices, and restrooms in the headquarters section, replacement of the cauldron, and installation of sports equipment. The project is scheduled to be completed by the end of June.
