Com2uS announced on the 26th that it has begun sponsoring the Korea Women's Baseball Federation to expand the base of women's baseball in South Korea and nurture young players. This sponsorship is intended to give back the love received from fans through baseball games to the amateur baseball community and realise social value through sports.

The sponsorship money was handed over during the opening ceremony of the 'Women's Baseball Festival 2026', held at Cheonan Baseball Stadium in Chungnam on the 23rd. Key figures attending the event included Kim Jeong-ho, head of Com2uS's baseball game business, Im Hye-jin, president of the Korea Women's Baseball Federation, and Ahn Young-jin, coach of the Cheonan Junior Women's Baseball Team.

The sponsorship aims to improve the training environment for the Cheonan Junior Women's Baseball Team, which is the only junior women's baseball team in the country and an officially fostered team under the Korea Women's Baseball Federation. It will also provide scholarships and baseball equipment to promising young female amateur baseball players nationwide. The Cheonan Junior Women's Baseball Team has competed as the sole junior team in national tournaments dominated by adult amateur teams, achieving a runner-up finish in the Women's Baseball Division-6 Future League in the first half of 2025 and reaching the semi-finals of the '1st KyoWon Tour Cup'.

The KBO League recently surpassed 12 million annual spectators, with female fans accounting for 57% of the total, indicating a diversifying fan base. However, the number of women's baseball teams, including middle and high school, corporate, and professional levels, remains extremely small. Com2uS hopes this sponsorship will help lay the foundation for aspiring female baseball players to nurture their dreams and grow in a stable environment.

Kim Jeong-ho, Head of Baseball Business at Com2uS, stated, 'We are delighted to have the opportunity to reciprocate the great love we've received from baseball fans and users. We will continue to support the development of amateur baseball, including youth women's baseball, so that baseball can further flourish as a national sport.'

Meanwhile, Com2uS has a history of supporting various amateur and youth baseball initiatives to expand the base of Korean baseball culture. The company has served as an official sponsor for two consecutive years for the 'KPBPA President's Cup Little & Women's Baseball Tournament' in partnership with the Korea Professional Baseball Players Association and has also sponsored promising players from newly established and underprivileged high school baseball teams. Com2uS will continue to contribute to the balanced development and healthy ecosystem of Korean baseball through diverse social contribution activities.
