The Korea Sports Council said Thursday it received “excellent” ratings in two recently released government reviews of its digital and data operations: the 2025 Public Data Provision and Operations Assessment and the 2025 Cultural Informatization Level Assessment.

In the public data review led by the Ministry of the Interior and Safety, which covered 684 organizations including central government agencies, local governments and public institutions, the council said its score rose sharply from the previous year, earning an “excellent” grade.

The council said its score was well above the average for other public institutions, 57.4 points, which was rated “insufficient.” It posted year-on-year improvements across three areas: opening and use of public data, public data quality, and management systems.

The council also earned an “excellent” grade for a third straight year in the 2025 Cultural Informatization Level Assessment, which evaluated 49 affiliated and public organizations under the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism.

That assessment broadly reviews how institutions run their information and digital operations. The council said it was recognized for efforts including its commitment to pursuing digital innovation.

Chairman Yoo Seung-min said the results reflected the council’s push for digital innovation in sports administration. “We will continue to innovate digital administration and strengthen the opening of public data to help lead the digital transformation of sports,” he said.
