Each event is scheduled to take place at Soho Yacht Marina (yacht), Jinnam Baseball Stadium (baseball-softball), and Jinnam Tennis Court (tennis). Accordingly, Yeosu City completed a self-inspection of the venues in February and has been conducting joint public-private inspections since March to ensure strict safety management of the venues.

Additionally, during the festival period, various cultural and artistic events such as the "Yeosu Night Sea Romantic Busker Street Cultural Performance" and "Our Neighborhood Youth Busking" will be promoted to provide diverse entertainment for athletes and visitors. The city also plans to conduct guidance and inspections to eradicate overcharging and unsanitary conditions in lodging facilities and restaurants.

A city official stated, "Based on the successful experience of hosting the 2023 National Sports Festival, we will thoroughly prepare for the National Youth Sports Festival. Especially since the majority of participants are youth athletes under 16 years old, we will focus on ensuring that athletes in this age group can fully demonstrate their skills and stay comfortably without inconvenience."
