<p>The Korea Sport and Olympic Committee (KSOC) held an <a href="https://www.asiatoday.co.kr/view.php?key&#61;20230919010011463" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">initiation briefing</a> on Monday to develop a blockchain-based career and performance management platform for athletes in collaboration with the Ministry of Science and ICT. This project aims to promote environmental, social, and governance (ESG) management by promoting eco-friendly approaches to sports management.</p><p>The KSOC was selected by the Ministry of Science and ICT and the Korea Internet &amp; Security Agency (KISA) in May to participate in a contest focusing on the implementation of blockchain technology in the public sector through the development of new platforms and services. This granted them the opportunity to undertake a blockchain project worth KRW 1.3 billion (approximately $978,000).</p><p>Representatives from various entities such as the KSOC and KISA and schools like Korea National Sport University and Yongin University attended the briefing on Monday, as well as sporting organizations like the Korea Basketball Association, the Korea Baseball Association, and the Korean University Sports Federation (KUSF).</p><h2 id="header-0">Revolutionizing athlete certification</h2><p>The primary focus of the project is to digitize certification for athlete performance, which is one of the documents submitted during the admissions process for special athletes under the KUSF. This document is issued by the respective sports associations and verifies the validity of the performance records of athletes in major competitions. The KSOC currently manages the performance records of nationwide competitions for more than 60 member sports associations, including the Korea Basketball Association, the Korea Baseball Association, and the Korea Taekwondo Association.</p><h2 id="header-1">Embracing digital transformation</h2><p>The project will thus facilitate a transition from printing and manually submitting paper certificates to a digital format that allows for online submission to involved institutions. This change is expected to reduce paper usage and postal costs as well as save time and simplify processes, thereby contributing to environmental protection and improved ESG management.</p><p>Additionally, the KSOC said that it would work on providing digital badges for athlete identification through a decentralized identifier (DID) system.</p><p>These various elements of the project will ensure a more transparent and secure management of performance records and history free from tampering or leaks. The new system is expected to be fully implemented starting at the end of this year.</p><p>Furthermore, the KSOC plans to continuously strive for the digitization and expansion of the sports sector through the implementation of emerging technologies.</p>
