Sports Promotion Corporation promotes campaign to eradicate illegal sports gambling for military personnel and families



The Seoul Olympic Memorial National Sports Promotion Foundation participated in the campaign to eradicate illegal sports gambling as a sponsor of the 「21st National Defense Daily Friendship Marathon」 held at the Peace Plaza in Sangam World Cup Park on the 27th.

At the competition, which attracted more than 5,000 soldiers, including army, navy, and air force soldiers, U.S. troops in Korea and marathon-loving citizens, the Korea Sports Corporation emphasized the importance of spreading a healthy sports culture by announcing the negative impact of illegal sports gambling by delivering quizzes and messages in the record promotion zone. In particular, a total of 843 people participated in 'Mobile Healthy Use Pledge', which received great response.

An official from the Korea Sports Corporation said, "This marathon is a venue for a festival where the people and the military work together, so we prepared this campaign because it is very meaningful."We will continue to strive to inform the public of the dangers of illegal sports gambling in the future."




Meanwhile, in addition to military personnel, the Sports Corporation continues to conduct preventive campaigns for vulnerable groups of illegal gambling such as students, and plans to expand their activities to more diverse sports sites.
