"We plan to focus our efforts on expanding the base of Korean baseball and internationalizing baseball."

On the 26th, the professional baseball OB group Ilguhoe "The Mongolian Baseball Association fully supported the cost of hosting the baseball tournament." he said.

It was in 2017 that the Japanese Baseball Association began to support the Mongolian Baseball Association in earnest. Lee Kyung-pil and Ilguhoe auditor held a baseball class to support the Mongolian national team in uniforms. In 2024, while supporting the pitching machine and the Pengo machine, director Cho Gye-hyun and auditor Lee Kyung-pil held youth baseball classes.




The Japanese organization was awarded the Olympic Glory Medal by the Mongolian Olympic Committee. The Olympic Glory Medal is a second-grade medal given by the Mongolian Olympic Committee and is given to organizations or individuals who have contributed to the development of Mongolian sports.

About 300 people from all over Mongolia participated in the Mongolian youth baseball tournament held on the 25th.

Following last year, Kim Hyung-dae, CEO of Nutridi Day, the chairman of the Ilgu Association, provided 300 boxes of vitamins to help manage player nutrition, and Doosan Bears and LG Twins sponsored the practice ball for the third consecutive year.




Chairman Kim Kwang-soo said, "The status of Korean baseball will be enhanced through continuous support for underdeveloped countries in baseball. It will be a more meaningful competition with Nutridi Day, LG, and Doosan teams."

"Baseball is becoming a nuisance in international sports, repeatedly kicking out and reviving depending on the host country at the Olympics. There have been talks for years that they could be kicked out of the Asian Games. As the plenary session was founded with the aim of 'return the love received from baseball to society', we plan to continue to expand the base of Korean baseball and devote our energy to the internationalization of baseball in the future.
