The game schedule for the 54th Phoenix Cup National High School Baseball Tournament has been further adjusted due to severe heat waves. Initially, games scheduled for the 7th will proceed only in the morning as extreme heat is expected to peak on that day.

The Korea Baseball and Softball Association (Chairman Yang Hae-young, hereinafter "the Association") announced, "We are further adjusting the game schedule for the '54th Phoenix Cup National High School Baseball Tournament' starting from the 7th."

The Association explained, "After comprehensively reviewing the Korea Meteorological Administration's heat wave forecast and on-site conditions at the stadiums, we determined that nationwide extreme heat will peak on the opening day, August 7. To ensure player safety, we have decided to conduct only morning games and secure additional reserve days for each stadium, thereby fully rescheduling the game schedule."

It further stated, "This rescheduling of the game schedule was decided while simultaneously considering the regular admission cycle for universities and preparations for heat waves. We will continue to closely monitor heat wave conditions and actively implement necessary measures to ensure that players, coaches, umpires, and all tournament officials can safely conduct the tournament."

Meanwhile, the 54th Phoenix Cup National High School Baseball Tournament is the largest high school baseball tournament in Korea, with 104 registered high school teams participating. The games will be held at Mokdong Baseball Stadium, Sinwol Baseball Stadium, and Gyuui Baseball Stadium.
