Yilan to Launch Department of Sports September 9th
Posted on 2026-03-11 18:46:14
Yilan is planning to establish its own Department of Sports later this year.
The county government says the new department is scheduled to be inaugurated on September 9th — which is also Taiwan's National Sports Day.
Officials say the department will have a staff of about twenty people and will oversee three divisions, including public sports promotion, competitive sports, and sports facilities.
Once established, it will become the county government's twenty-third department.
County officials say the move comes as public interest in sports continues to grow, making it necessary to create a dedicated unit to better coordinate resources, train athletes, and improve sports venues.
The county government plans to submit the organizational proposal to the county council for review in May.
