Under the vision of 「Korea Becoming One in Busan」, the first competition in 25 years since 2000, a total of 30,306 athletes (28,791 from the city and 1515 from overseas Korean sports organizations) and 50 sports teams will compete in 77 stadiums, including the Busan Asiad Stadium. Ahead of next year's Milan Winter Olympics, the North-China World Cup, and the Aichi and Nagoya Asian Games, it is an opportunity to check the skills of Taegeuk Warriors and lead social integration through sports and raise the public cheering heat.
With the pre-match of seven events, including gymnastics, fencing, canoeing, billiards, badminton, underwater pin swimming, and taekwondo, a large number of Paris Olympic stars last year and the Aichi and Nagoya Asian Games next year 'Rising Stars' will participate. Lim Si-hyun (Hanche University), a three-time winner of archery at the Paris Olympics and the MVP of last year's National Sports Festival (MVP), and Hwang Sun-woo (Gangwon Provincial Government) of the National Sports Festival for the third consecutive time from 2021 to 2023, and Kim Woo-min (Gangwon Provincial Government), a bronze medalist in the 400-meter freestyle at the Paris Olympics and the Singapore World Championships, will challenge for the multi-gwan king again this year. Woo Sang-hyuk (Yongin City Hall), a silver medalist in men's high jump at the Tokyo World Athletics Championships, Park Hye-jeong (Koyang City Hall), a silver medalist in weightlifting at the Paris Olympics, Yang Ji-in (Korean Sport University), Ban Hyo-jin (Daegu Sports High School), and Oh Ye-jin (IBK Industrial Bank) will also challenge with the honor of each city.
The opening ceremony will be held at the Busan Asiad Stadium at 6 p.m. on the 17th. Under the theme of 「Bae is coming in, Busan」 directed by General Director Park Kal-rin, a large container stage, the symbol of Busan, was created to prepare contents that citizens and the public can sympathize with, such as history, industry, stories of Busan people, and traditional arts. The closing ceremony will be held at the same place at 6 p.m. on the 23rd, and the general and MVP awards will be held. The opening and closing ceremonies will be broadcast live on KBS1TV and KBS Sports YouTube, respectively, and major sports events will be broadcast live on KBS1TV and KBS Sports Council TV (Naver Zizik).
In order to raise public interest in the National Sports Festival, the Korea Sports Association designated the national competition, the multi-gwan king and new record expected games, and the regional and generational interest games as 'prime events', and announced the schedule and location on the website of the Korea Sports Association and the competition. In addition, with the Sports Safety Foundation as the top priority, following the preliminary safety inspection of 10 stadiums last month, the company will conduct regular safety inspections of 31 stadiums during the tournament.
