All due diligence on the Chungcheong area stadium and various facilities by the International University Sports Federation’s technical inspection team, which is visiting Korea to select the host city for the 2027 Summer World University Games, has been completed.
The final inspection of the entire stadium was completed on the 12th at the Chungju area stadium.
The Chungcheongwon Joint Bidding Committee and the International Federation’s due diligence team visited Chungju on this day and in the morning looked around the Hoam Gymnasium, where badminton matches will be held, and the new site of the Chungju Traditional Martial Arts Promotion Facility, where taekwondo and judo matches will be held.
In particular, the committee explained to the actual team the details of the event invitation plan, including the stadium, spectator seats, and game facilities such as the waiting room for players, and the promotion plan.
In the afternoon of the same day, the inspection team visited the IBK Industrial Bank of Korea training center, which will be operated as the second athletes’ village, listened to the operation plan of the athletes’ village, and checked the location conditions, guest rooms, and convenience facilities.
Next, the inspection of the Tangeumho International Rowing Stadium, which possesses world-class facilities and equipment, concluded the technical inspection of the facilities in the Chungcheong area.
Tangeumho International Rowing Stadium is where major international competitions such as the 2015 Gwangju Universiade as well as the 2013 Chungju World Rowing Championships and the 2018 Chungju World Firefighters Competition were held.
This means that the priming material is expected to imprint the live-action team that Chungcheong is the most suitable site for hosting the 2027 Summer Universiade.
The joint bid committee and the inspection team held a closing meeting, including a comprehensive evaluation of the inspection of the Chungcheong region for the past 5 days, after the inspection of the Tangeumho Rowing Stadium.
An official from the joint bid committee said, “We did our best to successfully complete the technical examination, which lasted for 5 days. I will,” he said.
At the end of the day’s schedule, the inspection team will travel to Seoul to rest and depart on the 14th.
The host city of the 2027 Summer World University Games will be decided at the executive committee meeting to be held in Brussels, Belgium in November after an evaluation visit by the League of Nations executive committee on the 26th of next month.
It is a well-known fact that the inspection team’s inspection results greatly influence the evaluation group’s evaluation.
