The Korean Sports Council (Chairman Yoo Seung Min) will operate meal support centers in three regions of Milan, Cortina, and Livino, Italy, for a total of 17 days from the 6th to the 22nd to support the best condition of the South Korean team at the 2026 Milan Cortina Winter Olympics.

The Korea Sports Association explained about the meal support center, "We prepared it to support systematic meals so that the team can maintain its best condition by receiving a customized diet such as warm Korean food and recovery food amid repeated training and game schedules."

In particular, the tournament will establish and operate meal support centers in three locations, Milan, Cortina, and Livino, reflecting the characteristics that the stadium is distributed in various regions. It is the first time that the Winter Olympics meal support center is distributed by stadium cluster, and it is a further strengthening of on-site support for athletes compared to the last competition.

The Korean Sports Association will spend a total of 2.2 billion won to send a total of 36 operating personnel (15 Milano, 12 Cortina, 9 Livigno) to the region and provide Korean lunch boxes to 130 Korean athletes.

In addition, in consideration of the cold weather of the Winter Olympics and the stadium environment in mountainous areas, the event will introduce a "heated lunch box" that can provide warm lunch boxes for the first time.

How to use the heating lunch box and precautions are guided through QR codes to increase the convenience and satisfaction of the team. Lunch boxes began to be delivered to the team at three food service centers from the 6th.

President Yoo Seung Min, who visited the Milan Lunch Support Center at 10:30 a.m. local time on the 6th, participated in the first lunch box production process and checked the operation status.

Chairman Yoo said, "As our team enters a full-fledged race with the opening, we will participate in the preparation of our first Korean lunch box with the heart of taking care of the players," adding, "I hope our players will eat the carefully prepared lunch box and cheer up and play a good game."

Meanwhile, the lunch box provided to the team on the day was a total of 182 meals, 91 meals (Milano 45, Lvigno 23, Cortina 23), and 91 meals (Milano 45, Lvigno 23, Cortina 23). Lunch boxes are produced through prior application, and the quantity provided may vary by date depending on operating conditions such as the team's entry and departure schedule.
