Uljin-gun has dedicated stadiums and auxiliary stadiums for each sport, and provides stable facility management and administrative support during training periods. The analysis is that this infrastructure is steadily leading to the attraction of field training teams.

The long-term stay of the training team is also having a positive effect on the local economy.
