Woori Financial Group is providing opportunities for promising athletes in less popular sports to experience international competitions firsthand, aiming to nurture future national representatives.
On October 7, Woori Financial announced that as part of its 'Woori Dream Bridge 2026-2036' initiative, it conducted a site tour of the Asian Games in Aichi and Nagoya with six representatives from four sports: wrestling, shooting, tennis, and boxing.
The 'Woori Dream Bridge 2026-2036' program is a social contribution project in which Woori Financial invests a total of 3 billion won over ten years to support the growth of promising athletes in less popular sports. Each year, 60 athletes are selected to receive growth support funds, and various programs are offered to motivate and assist their development.
This program allows the athletes to directly experience the scale and atmosphere of international competitions, helping them to solidify their goals of becoming national representatives.
Yoon Kang-jun, a manager in the brand strategy department at Woori Financial, stated, "I hope that experiencing the grand stage of the Asian Games brings these young athletes one step closer to their goal of becoming national representatives. We will continue to support promising athletes who will lead the future of South Korean sports in a stable environment."
