Busan Metropolitan City, led by Mayor Chun Jae-soo, announced that the 2026 3rd Foreign Workers Fun Sports Day, hosted and organized by the Busan Foreign Workers Support Center, will take place at noon on September 20 at the Hwaam Park Sports Field in Gangseo-gu.

Launched in 2024 and now in its third year, the event was created to provide foreign workers in Busan and their families with an opportunity to enjoy sports and cultural activities together while interacting and building a sense of unity. Approximately 700 foreign workers and family members are expected to participate this year.

The event will feature a wide range of programs, including a talent show, celebratory performances, recreational sports activities, a Safety Golden Bell quiz, consultations, free health screenings, and promotional and hands-on experience booths.

In addition to various sporting events, group recreational activities and a talent show, celebratory performances will include samulnori traditional percussion music and Vietnamese traditional dance. Participants will also be able to enjoy hands-on activities such as archery, tuho and darts, along with a variety of refreshments including cotton candy.

In particular, the Safety Golden Bell quiz on occupational safety and health will offer foreign workers an easy and engaging way to learn essential safety and health information for the workplace.

In addition, 27 institutions and organizations, including participants in the “Hi-Five Safety Project,” will operate promotional and hands-on experience booths throughout the event venue.

They will provide customized consultations and free health screenings tailored to the needs of foreign workers, covering not only support for everyday life in areas such as legal services, healthcare, finance and telecommunications, but also occupational safety, accident prevention and other essential matters.

Meanwhile, the Busan Foreign Workers Support Center, which opened in May 2024 and is organizing the event, actively provides a variety of education and support programs to protect the rights and interests of foreign workers and help them settle safely in the local community.

Busan Metropolitan City Planning Officer Yun Jeong-no said, “We hope this sports day will provide foreign workers living and working in Busan with an enjoyable opportunity to spend time with their families and colleagues while interacting with one another and strengthening their sense of unity.” He added, “We will continue to provide practical, on-the-ground support so that foreign workers can work safely and establish themselves as members of the local community.”
