Lee Ki-heung, chairman of the Korean Sports Council, held a 2024 meeting of member sports organizations and national leaders at Jincheon National Training Center in Chungcheongbuk-do on the 28th and discussed various ways to improve the system.
A total of 150 people attended the joint meeting for the heads of member sports organizations, secretaries of each event, and national leaders. The meeting was held on this day by reporting major issues in the sports community, including reporting on the results of the 2024 Paris Olympics and guiding the preparation process for the election of the head of the member sports organization, and a meeting presided over by the president of the Korea Sports Council.
The Korean Sports Council said "This joint meeting is designed to monitor systems that do not fit the reality in relation to various improvements raised after the 2024 Paris Olympics and to improve them from the perspective of consumers such as national athletes." It is known that he also presented opinions on personal sponsorship issues that arose after Ahn Se-young, a gold medalist in badminton at the Paris Olympics, made remarks. In particular, there were opinions to come up with measures to protect the rights and interests of players and strengthen support by operating a window for direct communication between players and the president of the association (tentative name 'open presidential office') so that national team players are not disadvantaged by old practices and irrationalities.
Lee Ki-heung, chairman of the Korea Sports Council, said, `Before there is any external criticism, we must reflect on the need for improvement and make preemptive improvement"The matters criticized should be a midnight opportunity, and for systematic support centered on athletes and leaders, please actively review the areas that need to be reformed by each association to make efforts to move in a better direction in line with the changing times in the sports world," he said.
