Artificial Turf Installation, Developing a Soccer Landmark

The Mipo Sports Complex in Bangojin, Dong-gu, Ulsan, has completed renovations and will be opened to the public.

Ulsan City will hold a reopening ceremony at 9:40 a.m. on the 3rd at the Mipo Sports Complex in Hwajeong-dong, Dong-gu.

Constructed in 2002, the Mipo Sports Complex covers an area of 50,676㎡ and includes two soccer fields, two tennis courts, one basketball court, one jokgu court, and a clubhouse. Since its completion, it was managed by Hyundai Mipo Dockyard, but in June of this year, Ulsan City acquired it free of charge.

Since September, Ulsan City has been renovating the Mipo Sports Complex to make it convenient for athletes and all citizens to use. The natural grass soccer fields were replaced with artificial turf, and facilities such as the tennis courts, jokgu court, basketball court, track, and restrooms were also refurbished.

In October, through a public contest for selecting a management agency, the Ulsan Metropolitan City Sports Council was chosen as the operating organization to provide professional and systematic management.

Kim Doo-gyeom, Mayor of Ulsan, said, “We expect the level of soccer infrastructure in Ulsan to improve further,” and added, “We will ensure that Dong-gu is once again recognized as a representative soccer hotspot in Ulsan.”

Following the opening ceremony, the first match will be held between Hyundai Cheongun Middle School and Daegu Sangwon Middle School as the opening game of the 2023 Autumn Korean Women’s Football Federation Tournament.
