The Sports Ethics Center deployed human rights protection officers at the tournament site to conduct human rights monitoring across all aspects of stadium operations and athlete team management, while carrying out human rights violation prevention activities targeting athletes and coaches.

To respond promptly to any human rights-related complaints that may arise on-site, it operated a counseling and reporting support system to contribute to creating a safe tournament environment.

Human rights protection officers are official professional personnel operated by the Sports Ethics Center based on the National Sports Promotion Act. It is a national-level sports human rights protection system dedicated to preventing and responding to human rights violations in sports settings.

They are dispatched to sites such as nationwide sports tournaments to implement human rights violation prevention activities and on-site monitoring. In case of incidents, they carry out tasks including initial counseling and reporting support, and coordination with relevant institutional investors.

Han Min-soo, acting head of the Sports Ethics Center, stated, "It is a time when creating a safe sports environment for growing dream-plant athletes is more necessary than anything else. Everyone must be able to focus on sports with peace of mind and without worry." He added, "Moving forward, the center will continue to actively carry out human rights protection activities centered on the field and strive to foster a proper sports culture."

If you have experienced or witnessed unfair incidents such as violence, sexual violence, human rights violations, or corruption in the sports community, you can file a report or seek counseling through the Sports Ethics Center.
