The National Unemployed Basketball Federation Championship was held in Taebaek.
The 2024 National Unemployed Basketball Federation Championship opened at the Gowon Gymnasium in Taebaek City, Gangwon Province, on July 7. The tournament is organized and hosted by the Korea Unemployed Basketball Federation and sponsored by Taebaek City, Taebaek City Council, and the Korea Basketball Association. The tournament will be held for two days and three nights from July 7 (Fri) to 9 (Sun).
Four unemployed women’s basketball teams from Seodaemun-gu Office, Sacheon City Office, Gimcheon City Office, and Daegu City Office participated in the tournament, which is the second edition of the 2024 National Unemployed Basketball Federation Exhibition and Regional Basketball Tournament held in April in Gimcheon, Gyeongsangbuk-do.
This year’s tournament is particularly significant because it is the first time the tournament has been held in Taebaek, Gangwon-do Province, and it is the first time the National Unemployed Basketball Federation has held two tournaments in the city, instead of only one every year.

It will be a great opportunity for teams to improve their performance as they have one more competition to play in.”
The tournament will also feature a basketball tournament for employers.
