Korean Sports Council Convenes Meeting of 13 Sports Bodies

PyeongChang--(뉴스와이어)--The president of the Korean Sports Council Jung-gil KIM challenged 13 sports associations in the country to join the government in supporting the PyeongChang 2014 Winter Olympic bid.

A gathering of such magnitude among Korean sports bodies is a rare occasion. The August 22 meeting in Seoul marked the first coming-together in one place, since 1980, of so many professional and amateur Korean sports bodies, including South Korea’s World Cup Association. The groups in attendance included sports associations, sports academies and sports promotion bodies.

At the meeting, PyeongChang 2014 Bid Chairman Han Seung-soo said such strong participation means that Korea’s sports community has a strong desire to help Korea to host the 2014 Winter Olympics at PyeongChang. At Tuesday’s meeting, the dialogue centered on ways to support PyeongChang 2014, including fundraising and networking roles.

HAN Seung-soo, chairman of PyeongChang 2014 said, “It is very meaningful to be together in one place with professional and amateur sports associations, but it is all the more impressive that your people are ready to support and join hands with us to host the Winter Olympics.”
