The Korean Sports Council (President Yoo Seung-min) has decided to dispatch a large delegation of over 1,000 athletes to the 2026 20th Aichi-Nagoya Summer Asian Games to be held in Japan this September. Additionally, it resolved to take a firm stance against malicious complaints involving false accusations and defamation targeting sports personnel.
On the 26th, the Korean Sports Council held its '19th Board Meeting' at the Olympic Hall Conference Room in Seoul Songpa-gu to deliberate and approve key agenda items, including plans for Asian Games delegation deployment and revisions to relevant regulations.
The Council decided to send a South Korean delegation comprising 41 sports disciplines and totaling 1,052 athletes to the Summer Asian Games scheduled from September 19 to October 4 in Aichi-Nagoya, Japan. Alongside this decision, it revised the Regulations for Member Sports Organizations and the President Election Management Regulations to strengthen the performance and democratic nature of the sports community, implementing comprehensive reforms such as expanding the scope of eligible voters.
During today's board meeting, reports were also presented on key issues including the appointment of the team leader for the 2026 4th Dakar Youth Olympic Games, the third-term Ji Bang-che-yuk (Chairman) election, discussions by the K-Football Innovation Committee, and progress on institutional improvements at the Korea Football Association.
Notably, the Council clearly stated its policy to protect sports personnel and member organizations from recent increases in false accusations, repeated malicious complaints, and groundless defamation.
While actively guaranteeing the right to file legitimate complaints, the Council plans to firmly address unilateral claims unsupported by factual evidence or intentional acts of obstructing official duties.
The Korean Sports Council intends to establish specific procedures for verifying facts regarding malicious complaints and response criteria in the future, and will concretize legal and administrative support measures for affected athletes and member organizations, which will be formally submitted as an agenda item at the next board meeting.
