KT Wiz professional baseball team held business talks with Geelong on Tuesday the 20th at the Geelong Baseball Centre in Australia to strengthen mutual exchange and cooperation.
The meeting was attended by about 20 officials, including KT Wiz baseball director Na Dohyeon and Geelong Mayor Stretch Kontelj.
KT expressed gratitude to Geelong for carrying out stadium facility repairs worth about $800,000 (120 million won) to ensure a successful 2026 season camp. In addition, KT promised to hold youth clinics for Geelong's young baseball hopefuls during the camp and to play an exhibition game against the Melbourne Aces of the Australian Baseball League.
Geelong said it hopes to raise satisfaction with the training camp by maintaining interest and support in improving training conditions at the camp site, and expects the relationship with KT to develop into a mid- to long-term, mutually beneficial partnership.
Na Dohyeon, the baseball director, said, "I thank Mayor Kontelj and the officials for their full investment and support for the team's training facilities," and added, "We will seek various mutually beneficial measures through active communication with Geelong."
Geelong Mayor Stretch Kontelj said, "We welcome the KT club visiting Geelong again this year following last year. We will spare no support to ensure a successful camp," and added, "We will work together to develop baseball in Geelong and broaden its base."
Meanwhile, the Geelong Baseball Centre in Australia, which KT visited again this year following last year, boasts an excellent training environment, offering four baseball fields, a training center and bullpens that can be used freely at once in a warm climate.
