The Korea Sports Promotion Foundation (Sports Foundation) has formed and launched a pilot operation of the "Sports Facility National Inspection Team" to inspect the safety of sports facilities together with the general public.

On May 12, the Sports Foundation completed the appointment and pre-training of a total of 10 members of the "National Inspection Team" (5 youths and 5 seniors) and began full-scale inspection activities in mid-May at 20 public and private sports facilities of various types and sizes located in Seoul.

The "National Inspection Team" is a pilot project proactively introduced by the Sports Foundation to further strengthen the existing safety management system and transparently disclose the inspection process to the public. Through this, inspections can be conducted from the perspective of citizens who use the facilities on a daily basis, allowing for a broad examination of safety blind spots.

The "National Inspection Team," organized in pairs of one youth and one senior, accompanies the joint public-private sports facility safety inspection sites promoted by the Sports Foundation. While two professional institutional investor inspection commissioners and one local government official diagnose the structural and technical safety of the facilities, the team inspects safety elements that are actually felt by users from the user's perspective.

A Sports Foundation official, speaking to this newspaper by phone, said, "This project is significant in that citizens directly participate in the inspection to examine safety elements together," and added, "In the future, we will faithfully reflect citizens' opinions in improving the safety management system and strive to create safe sports facilities that everyone can enjoy."

An official from a sports organization, speaking to this newspaper by phone, stated, "We hope this will serve as an opportunity to make accurate judgments about sports facilities. The Korea Sports Promotion Foundation should not only point out problems but also consider future solutions and funding for remodeling; only then will the inspection activities have value."
