The Korea Sports Association (Chairman Yoo Seung Min) held an official partner sponsorship agreement ceremony with Woori Financial Group at Woori Financial Group's headquarters in Jung-gu, Seoul on the 14th.

Key officials, including Yoo Seung Min, chairman of the Korea Sports Association, and Lim Jong-ryong, chairman of Woori Financial Group, attended the signing ceremony and agreed to cooperate with each other to develop Korean sports and strengthen the international competitiveness of the national team.

Through this agreement, Woori Financial Group will officially support Team Korea, the Korean national team, which will compete in major international competitions such as the 2026 Milan Cortina Winter Olympics, the 2026 Aichinago Yahaya Asian Games, and the 2028 Los Angeles Summer Olympics as an official partner of the Korean Sports Council.

In addition, the Korea Sports Association and Woori Financial Group will go beyond supporting the national team and promote "Our Dream Bridge," a social contribution program that supports unpopular events and junior prospects who are relatively less interested.

Through this, it plans to expand the base of sports and promote the creation of a sustainable sports ecosystem that contributes to fostering future generations.

Sung Seung-min, a bronze medalist in the modern pentathlon at the 2024 Paris Summer Olympics, snowboard Ryu Jun-su, a promising winter event, and cross-country Park Jae-yeon and Lee Yoon-joo attended the signing ceremony, adding to the meaning of supporting the national team.

Chairman Yoo Seung Min said, "We deeply appreciate Woori Financial Group's strong partnership," adding, "This agreement is expected to be a great help in improving the performance of the national team as well as revitalizing basic sports and youth sports."

Woori Financial Group said, "We are happy that this agreement will help our players perform at their best on the international stage and enhance Korea's sports status," adding, "We will especially be a strong support for junior prospects, who are future leaders, to develop their dreams regardless of the environment."

Meanwhile, the Korea Sports Association emphasized, "We plan to continue our efforts to support national athletes and spread sports values through various public-private cooperation with Woori Financial Group."
