The Korea Volleyball Organization (KOVO) has signed an agreement with Gumi City to host the 2023 Gumi Dodram Cup professional volleyball tournament, reuniting professional volleyball and Gumi City for the first time in six seasons.
The signing ceremony, held at Gumi City Hall on April 24, was attended by KOVO Secretary General Shin Moo-cheol, Gumi Vice Mayor Kim Hoseop, Gumi City Council Chairman Ahn Joo-chan, Korea Volleyball Federation President Yoon Sang-hoon, and Korea Volleyball Association President Kim Jin-hwan.
Through the agreement, Gumi 메이저사이트 City will provide various support for the tournament, including the rental of the Gumi Park Jung-hee Gymnasium as the host venue, administrative tasks, and publicity to attract spectators, and promised to cooperate with each other for the successful operation of the tournament.
Gumi City was home to the V-League from 2005 to 2017, when LIG Insurance, the predecessor of KB Insurance, hosted the tournament, and will be reunited with professional volleyball for the first time in about six years and four months since March 2017, the last game of the 2016-2017 season.
Meanwhile, the 2023 Gumi Dodram Cup Professional Volleyball Tournament will be held for a total of 16 days from July 29 to August 5 for the women and August 6 to 13 for the men.
As 37,000 spectators visited the Suncheon and Dodram Cup in 2022, it is expected that the tournament in Gumi City will continue to be a hot volleyball feast.
