What Is the Youth Sports Pass?
The Youth Sports Pass is a tailored welfare system co‑created by NC Dinos, Changwon LG Sakers, and Gyeongnam FC. Points can be used to buy tickets to professional games or to access gyms, Pilates studios, and yoga classes.
Eligibility and Funding
Eligibility is limited to residents working for SMEs in Changwon whose monthly income does not exceed 150% of the median. Qualified participants receive 100,000 won instantly. Those already chosen in the first half of the year are excluded, and the program may close early if the budget runs out.
Application Process and Timeline
Applications open on June 6 and close on June 24 via the online “Changwon Youth Information Platform.” The portal is mobile‑friendly, allowing quick sign‑up and data entry. While the deadline is fixed, early submission gives a better chance of securing a spot.
