Venue and Facilities, Accommodation, Transportation, Parking, and Promotion Inspection

Ulsan City will hold a final briefing session on the preparation status for two national competitions scheduled for next month.

On the 18th at 3 p.m., Ulsan City announced that it will hold a final preparation status briefing session for the successful hosting of the “52nd National Youth Sports Festival” and the “17th National Sports Festival for Students with Disabilities” in the main conference room on the 2nd floor of the City Hall main building.

The briefing session will be attended by about 30 people, including officials from Ulsan City, five districts and counties, Ulsan Office of Education, Ulsan Sports Council, Ulsan Disabled Sports Council, and Ulsan Police Agency. It will proceed with a comprehensive report from the sports event planning team, reports on major progress and final plans from each executive department.

The main discussion topics include ▲ safety measures for facilities such as stadiums ▲ accommodation, transportation, and transit measures ▲ emergency medical measures ▲ holding cultural and artistic events ▲ installation and operation of the comprehensive situation room and competition operation headquarters.

This sports festival prioritizes “safety” above all.

Ulsan City has prepared safety management measures for sports festival facilities such as stadiums, completed joint inspections with experts and related organizations, and finalized preparations for a safe event by conducting safety education for game operation personnel and distributing safety manuals.

In connection with the opening ceremony, Ulsan City secured a temporary parking lot near Dongcheon Gymnasium, the venue for the opening ceremony, to facilitate parking and transportation for participating teams and spectators.

To support mobility convenience for transportation-vulnerable groups, a comprehensive transportation plan has been established, including providing disabled call taxi transportation during the Students with Disabilities Sports Festival and operating emergency duty for disabled call taxis from May 16 to May 19.

To offer warm hospitality with consideration and establish accommodation order, a cooperation letter for accommodation reservations was sent to lodging businesses, and administrative guidance for lodging facilities is being continuously promoted.

To minimize inconvenience for athletes participating in the Students with Disabilities Sports Festival, temporary ramps will also be installed inside accommodations.

To provide convenience for team movements, 628 transport vehicles (137 large charter buses and 491 taxis) will be supported, covering all areas of Ulsan (accommodations, stadiums, etc.) and Gimhae Airport routes.

For medical safety of athletes and spectators during the sports festivals, Ulsan City will establish a medical support headquarters (12 members in 6 teams) at Ulsan Sports Complex and operate medical support teams (41 doctors and 68 nurses) at each venue. The “emergency medical response system” will also be strengthened to prepare for mass casualty incidents.

In May, when the sports festivals are held, Ulsan City plans to hold concentrated representative cultural and artistic events and exhibitions to create a festive atmosphere shared by athletes and citizens.

The installation of the “comprehensive situation room” and “competition operation headquarters” has also been completed to enable prompt situation response and coordination by the executive team and smooth support for event operations.

Kim Doo-gyeom, Mayor of Ulsan, said, “I hope that the National Youth Sports Festival and the Students with Disabilities Sports Festival will serve as an opportunity to widely promote Ulsan, which has transformed from an industrial city into an eco-friendly ecological city, across the nation.” He added, “Based on last year’s successful hosting of the National Sports Festival, I hope everyone will do their best until the end of the event to leave a good impression on the athletes visiting Ulsan.”

The 17th National Sports Festival for Students with Disabilities will be held from May 16 to 19, starting with the opening ceremony at Dongcheon Gymnasium, with about 4,000 athletes and officials participating across 17 venues including Ulsan Sports Complex.

The 52nd National Youth Sports Festival will be held from May 27 to 30 at 49 venues including Ulsan Sports Complex, with about 18,000 athletes and officials participating in 36 events.
