Miryang City, a beautiful art village along the Nakdong River where tradition and modernity coexist harmoniously, is emerging as a sports mecca.

From now on, in 2024, let’s take a trip to Miryang, which is rising as a city of sports and filled with the joy of sports.

◆Badminton
After the construction of a badminton-specific stadium in 2016, Miryang continued to host various badminton competitions, including international competitions, and grew into a badminton mecca city. However, some of the facilities were old and somewhat disappointing. Repair work to improve this is currently in full swing.
Starting with the ‘Korea Used Badminton Federation President Long-term National Student Championships’ held for 10 days from March 22, the ‘National Vocational University Badminton Championships’ will be held in April. The ‘Korea Elementary Badminton Federation President’s National Student Championships’ will be held in August, and the ‘105th National Sports Festival (Badminton Competition)’ will be held in September.

Meanwhile, Miryang City estimated that there would be an economic ripple effect of about 7.7 billion won by hosting various sports competitions (33,707 people in 25 competitions) last year and attracting training teams (285 teams, 10,376 people per year). In particular, many athletes and officials visited during large-scale competitions, leading to a peak season for the lodging and restaurant industries. As a large number of people are expected to visit Miryang again this year, it is expected that it will help revitalize the local economy in various fields, including the lodging industry.
Acting Miryang Mayor Heo Dong-sik said, “More than 20 national sports events are held in Miryang every year. “There are ways to enjoy sports by directly participating in the competition, but watching the event you are interested in and feeling the heat of the competition venue and the passion of the athletes is also a way to enjoy sports,” he said. “Milyang is a city with various charms in all four seasons. “I hope you can feel the charm of Miryang while enjoying sports and sightseeing,” he said.
