The Korea Sports Promotion Foundation held the third edition of the '2026 VR Seoul Olympics Super League.'

The tournament was held on the 7th at the Seoul Olympic Parktel. Approximately 100 athletes and coaches from the top four teams, who advanced through the preliminary and main rounds among 61 teams representing elementary schools nationwide, participated in the event.

In particular, new events were added to this tournament as part of efforts to promote the VR sports industry. Four official events (snowball fight, track and field, soccer, and jackpot) developed based on the concept of an elementary school sports day were featured. Additionally, demo events included content from various domestic developers, such as 'Ulti Racer' (cycling) by Real Design Tech, a domestic virtual reality specialist company; boxing and taekwondo by ZEMITA; and shooting by Bepot.

On site, eight elementary schools selected through the national preliminary and main rounds engaged in fierce competition. As a result, Seokmun Elementary School (snowball fight), Jeonggyo Elementary School (track and field), Iri Baekje Elementary School (soccer), and Gamseong Elementary School (jackpot) claimed victory in their respective events.

An official from the Korea Sports Promotion Foundation, who spoke with this outlet by phone, stated, "This tournament will be an important opportunity to promote the domestic virtual reality sports industry."
