Suncheon City has been finally selected for the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism's "2026 Living Sports Facility Expansion Support Project" and secured 4 billion won in national funding, signaling a green light for the comprehensive sports park development project.

According to Suncheon City on November 3, the "Comprehensive Sports Park Development" project aims to establish a multi-purpose sports facility on approximately 330,000 square meters in the Anpung-dong and Daeryong-dong areas of Suncheon. The project is intended to become a key sports infrastructure hub for the southern coastal and central regions, serving as a venue for various sports events such as the Universiade, and as a metropolitan sports hub where both recreational and professional sports coexist.

This selection was positively evaluated by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, as Suncheon City proactively secured a budget for land acquisition and actively promoted the compensation process, thereby taking practical and preemptive steps to prepare for the project.

Based on the secured national funding, the city plans to apply for the Ministry of the Interior and Safety's central investment review in January next year. It will also proceed quickly and seamlessly with follow-up administrative procedures such as compensation and design, in order to enhance the project's sustainability and build an ecosystem that will allow Suncheon to emerge as a sports and cultural hub city in the southern coastal and central regions.

A Suncheon City official explained, "By visiting the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and other relevant agencies multiple times, we demonstrated not only our commitment to planning but also our determination to implement the project and administrative reliability by securing the land."
