The Sports Ethics Center (Chairman Park Ji-young) under the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism held the 2025 Sports Ethics Awards at the Korea Press Center International Conference Hall in Jung-gu, Seoul on the 31st of last month.

The award ceremony selected and awarded six sports organizations that contributed to establishing the right sports ethics culture by actively protecting the human rights of athletes and securing fairness in the sports field.

On this day, more than 100 internal and external officials, including athletes, leaders, administrators, and sports ethics center executives, participated, and they also had a meaningful time to look back on the year by sharing the major achievements of the Sports Ethics Center in 2025 along with the awards.

The "Sports Ethics Award" is a ministerial citation newly established this year to officially recognize individuals or organizations who have contributed to the "Establishment of Violence in Sports," which is being promoted by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism as a major sports policy task.

Based on the period of merit, contribution to promoting sports ethics, and symbolism as a social role model, a total of three sports organizations (Korea Gymnastics Association, Seoul Sports Council for the Disabled, and Korea Swimming Federation for the Disabled) were selected after a public review committee vote.

A total of three sports organizations (Seoul Sports Council, Gyeonggi-do Sports Council, and Gyeongsangbuk-do Sports Council) were selected after rigorous internal screening of individuals or organizations who actively participated in the center project to establish fair sports governance.

Park Ji-young, chairman of the Sports Ethics Center, said, "The Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism enacted the first sports ethics award in 2025, and the first award was held under the supervision of the Sports Ethics Center. This is a very important starting point for sports ethics to no longer remain in declarations or slogans, but to be recorded as official values in national policies and institutions."

I would like to express my sincere congratulations to everyone who won the Sports Ethics Award and the Sports Ethics Promotion Award. In the future, the Sports Ethics Center will continue to do its best to play its role quietly but without wavering to create a people-centered and trusted sports environment," he said.
