[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Song Jong-gu] Changwon Special City in Gyeongnam will hold the ‘2022 Hanwha Chairman’s Cup National Shooting Competition’ at Changwon International Shooting Range for seven days from the 31st to September 6th.

Hosted by Hanwha Group and organized by the Korea Shooting Federation, this competition will simultaneously hold all shooting events across all divisions (general, student, and disabled athletes), and is classified as one of the five major domestic tournaments alongside the Bonghwanggi and the National Police Agency Chief’s Cup.

This competition, featuring about 3,000 athletes from 390 teams nationwide including disabled athletes in the student and general divisions, will also serve as the selection trial for the 2023 national team and reserve team, as well as the representative selection for next year’s Hangzhou Asian Games.

Based on Hanwha Group’s philosophy of ‘Together, Far,’ the Hanwha Chairman’s Cup, established in 2008 to promote and expand the shooting sport, is the first and only domestic shooting competition hosted by a corporation.

Hong Nam-pyo, Mayor of Changwon Special City, said, “We welcome all shooters participating in this competition nationwide and hope it will be the best event where they can fully demonstrate their honed skills. Changwon Special City will actively support the development of shooting sports as the representative city of shooting in Korea.”
