The city expects that this recruitment will strengthen the connection of local sports and further solidify ties with the local community.

Mayor Kang Su-hyun of Yangju City stated, “The expansion of the athletes this year following the founding of the athletics team last year was possible thanks to the full support and cooperation of the City Council for elite sports support,” adding, “We will continue to do our best for the development of sports in Yangju City and the nurturing of local athletes, including bowling and athletics.”

Meanwhile, the city plans to make various efforts to raise the status of Yangju City sports centered on the workplace sports team.
