The Korea Anti-Doping Agency (KADA), chaired by Yang Yun-jun (hereinafter KADA), operated a sports values and anti-doping program for students at Moonjeong Middle School.

KADA announced on the 19th that it held an experiential program titled "2026 North, Central America and Caribbean World Cup: Soccer and Anti-Doping" on the theme of sports values and anti-doping for 25 third-year students at Moonjeong Middle School at Fair Play Ground (FPG).

Regarding the program, KADA explained, "This was organized to raise awareness among youth about the core value of sports, the spirit of fair play, and the importance of anti-doping, and to promote a healthy sports culture, in connection with the 2026 North, Central America and Caribbean World Cup."

Participating students learned about the concept and risks of doping, as well as regulations that athletes must follow, and acquired core sports values such as honesty, respect, and responsibility through various experiential contents at FPG.

In particular, the students cheered together for the match between South Korea and Mexico, the second group stage game of the 2026 North, Central America and Caribbean World Cup, experiencing the joy of sports and reflecting on the meaning of fair competition and sportsmanship.

Lee Su-rim, a third-year student who participated in the program, shared her thoughts: "I was able to feel the fun of sports while cheering for the Korean national team. I also learned why it is important to compete fairly without doping."

Kim Il-hwan, KADA's Secretary-General, stated, "It is important for youth to learn the value of fair competition while enjoying sports. Going forward, we will strive to spread sports values and raise awareness of anti-doping through various experiential education programs."

KADA plans to additionally operate the same program for about 50 first-year students at Moonjeong Middle School on the 25th, coinciding with the third group stage match of the World Cup between South Korea and South Africa.

Meanwhile, FPG is KADA's experiential anti-doping culture space located on the 18th floor of Seoul Olympic Parktel in Songpa-gu, Seoul, providing various educational, exhibition, and experiential contents that allow easy and fun access to sports values and anti-doping.
