Bird's-eye view of Buyeo Bandabi National Sports Center

The Buyeo Bandabi National Sports Center construction project, a school-complex facility promoted by the Chungnam Office of Education, will move forward in earnest after passing both the 2025 second regular Central Investment Review by the Ministry of the Interior and Safety and the fiscal investment review by the Chungnam Office of Education.

According to the Office of Education on the 25th, the Buyeo Bandabi National Sports Center will be built on the site of the Buyeo-gun Culture and Arts Education Complex Town, with one basement floor and two above-ground floors, and a total floor area of 4,423 square meters. The total project cost is 25 billion won, with 4 billion won from the national government, 9.9 billion won from the Chungnam Office of Education, and 11.1 billion won from Buyeo-gun.

The main facilities will include a 25-meter, 8-lane swimming pool, a children's pool, a gymnasium, a fitness center, and a physical fitness certification center for people with disabilities. Construction is scheduled to begin in October this year, with the goal of opening in March 2027.

On August 8, Buyeo-gun and the Buyeo Office of Education signed an implementation agreement designating Buyeo-gun as the owner and operator of the facility, and stipulating that students will be able to use the facility free of charge for curricular and after-school programs.

Accordingly, related ordinances will be revised to clearly stipulate the provisions for free student programs and usage fees.

Superintendent Kim Jicheol stated, "With the project passing the reviews, we can now move forward in earnest," and added, "We will do our best to establish this as a socially integrated sports facility where students and local residents can come together, in cooperation with Buyeo-gun."
