The 2025 Jeonnam Disabled Sports for All Games will be held in Yeonggwang, Jeollanam-do for two days starting from the 25th, under the theme "Gathering Dreams into One in the Light of a Millennium in Yeonggwang."

This year’s event will see more than 2,250 athletes and officials from 22 cities and counties across the province competing in 13 different sports for all.

Notably, this year, the official inclusion of Schullen and indoor rowing-sports favored by people with disabilities-has further expanded the diversity of events and the scope of participation.

The Games are designed to be a festival of inclusion and harmony, bringing together people with and without disabilities, and providing a space where everyone can interact and share the true meaning of sports for all, beyond the pursuit of victory or defeat.

For the first time in Jeollanam-do, AI-powered real-time broadcasting will be introduced at this event. Advanced AI cameras will capture the athletes’ sweat and passion, and, in collaboration with KT Skylife’s social contribution program, the competitions will be broadcast live to households nationwide via YouTube.

Yeonggwang County has thoroughly prepared for the successful operation of the Games, focusing on the organizing committee and the working task force to ensure smooth opening and closing ceremonies, event management, transportation and accommodation, cultural events, as well as safety and medical support.

Ambulances and emergency rescue personnel will be stationed at the main venues at all times, and a rapid emergency medical system has been established through close cooperation with medical institutions and public health centers.

Kim Youngrok, Governor of Jeollanam-do, stated, "This event is a meaningful opportunity for people with and without disabilities to come together, empathize, and interact through sports. I hope all participating athletes will showcase the skills they have honed, encourage each other, and that everyone visiting Yeonggwang will experience the warmth and culture of Jeollanam-do."
