About 3,800 athletes to participate from Friday to Sunday
The 4th National Sports Club Exchange Meet, featuring 102 sports clubs from across the country, will be held in Jecheon, North Chungcheong Province, over three days from Friday to Sunday.
Organized by the Korean Sport & Olympic Committee and co-hosted by the North Chungcheong Province Sports Council, the Jecheon City Sports Council and provincial sports associations, the event will draw about 3,800 athletes and team officials.
Participants will compete across 10 sports — basketball, dance sport, volleyball, badminton, swimming, baseball, gymnastics, soccer, table tennis and tennis — while fostering camaraderie and exchange among clubs.
This year, for the first time, the meet will be integrated with the Sports Club Portal, allowing everything from registration to results to be handled online. Participants and officials can check schedules and results on a dedicated exchange meet page within the portal.
AI-powered live streaming will also be expanded for members and parents unable to attend in person. Matches in five sports — soccer, baseball, basketball, volleyball and swimming — will be broadcast live on Naver Chzzk, the Sports Club Portal and YouTube.
Korean Sport & Olympic Committee President Yoo Seung-min said he hoped the meet would give sports club members from across the country a meaningful opportunity to showcase the skills they have honed and to share friendship and unity through sport.
