The KBO (Korea Baseball Organization) is seeking a new Local Government to join the Futures League (second division) to expand the base of baseball and explore potential markets. The plan is to find a "second Ulsan" to follow the "Ulsan Whales," which was established this season and has injected vitality into the league.

On the 16th, the KBO announced, "We are publicly recruiting Local Governments to establish a team to participate in the Futures League."

According to the KBO, the Local Government ultimately selected through this recruitment will, like the Ulsan Whales, undergo an approval process by the KBO Board of Directors and is expected to officially join the Futures League as early as the 2027 season.

Local Governments participating in the recruitment must submit concrete plans for establishing and operating the team, and must possess essential infrastructure such as a dedicated stadium for use as a home field, an indoor practice facility, and supporting facilities. Evaluation and selection of candidate Local Governments will be conducted comprehensively by a panel of experts through proposal review, evaluation presentations (PT), and on-site inspections.

The recruitment period runs from June 17 to July 28. Local Governments wishing to participate must prepare the required documents and submit them in person at the KBO League Cooperation Team. Submissions via email, fax, or mail are not accepted.

Meanwhile, more detailed information can be confirmed through the recruitment notice posted on the KBO website.
