GH to Establish Women's Wrestling Team Within This Year

Gyeonggi Housing and Urban Corporation

Gyeonggi Housing and Urban Corporation (GH) will establish a women's wrestling team within this year. It will be the first workplace sports team since GH was founded.

GH announced on the 12th that it had previously begun preparations to establish a workplace sports team in July, received recommendations for 11 sports from the Gyeonggi Province Sports Council, and after a two-step screening process, selected women's wrestling as the final candidate.

Among the total of 11 sports, GH selected five candidates?women's wrestling, triathlon, squash, sepak takraw, and wushu?in the first stage of screening, then received establishment proposals from the respective sports organizations of the five candidates and conducted the second stage of screening.

Focusing on less popular sports that are neglected by the general public and those without workplace sports teams in the province, GH finalized the women's wrestling team after board approval on October 25 and Gyeonggi Province's approval on November 10.

Kim Se-yong, GH President, said, "With the establishment of the women's wrestling team, we plan to continuously pay attention to the promotion and development of sports in Gyeonggi Province," and promised, "We will continue to fulfill our social role and responsibility as a public institution for the development of Gyeonggi Province by considering the establishment of additional neglected sports teams in the province when opportunities arise."

GH has set a goal to establish the team within this year after going through processes such as selecting coaches and athletes.
