The Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism announced the results of a specific audit of the Korea Football Association on the 5th. It was more serious than expected. The government made 61.5 billion won worth of loans without the approval of the minister of the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, and received 5.6 billion won in state subsidies as false reports.
It also demanded that Chung Mong-gyu and Kim Jeong-bae, vice chairmen of the Cheonan Football Center, be disciplined for suspension of qualifications or higher (suspension, dismissal, expulsion) for reasons such as mistakes in the appointment of the national team coach, irregularities in leadership exams, and financial problems in the construction of the Cheonan Football Center. It also demanded punishment of a total of 27 cases and 19 people.
Concerned about the fact that it was not a judicial institution and the political interference of FIFA, it was said to be a disciplinary action that was ‘requested’ rather than compulsory, but this was quite strong in the grammar of state agencies.
Nevertheless, the Korea Football Association responded that it would request a reconsideration through a rebuttal. It was doubtful how the KFA, which continued its absurd remarks in its rebuttal, had worked as the top institution in Korean soccer.
▶27 cases of irregularities-19 disciplinary actions – Fake receipt of 5.6 billion won
In the final audit announcement, the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism announced that the Korea Football Association made a mistake in handling the rejection of the three candidates, 1. violation of procedures and improper operation in the appointment of the national team coach (Jurgen Klisman, Hong Myung-bo). 2. false application of state subsidies for the construction of the Cheonan Football Center as the leader of the national university. 4. unfair handling of amnesty for footballers, 6. negligence execution of paying 2.8 billion won to emergency fund executives. 6. 6 people who were supposed to be rejected from the leader’s class.
In the case of Klinsmann, Chung Mong-gyu, who was not qualified, had an interview in person after the Power Reinforcement Committee disabled him. Director Hong Myung-bo was also appointed by Lee Im-saeng, who was not qualified.
The national team’s physical coach needed AFC Fitness Level 1, hired a person without a license, borrowed 61.5 billion won without the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism’s approval to build the Cheonan Football Center, and actually created an office space after receiving 5.6 billion won in state subsidies on the condition that the center excludes office space.
Although pardons for match manipulators were not allowed under the regulations of the Korea Sports Association, a subordinate organization of the Korea Football Association ignored them and issued pardons before returning them to the court. In addition, the organization also committed the unfairness of paying 2.8 billion won (2.7 million U.S. dollars) to part-time executives in the name of consultation fees and making those who passed the leadership certificate pass and fail according to their taste, not based on scores.
▶Football Association’s refutation of logic
The KFA refuted the claim in a statement on Wednesday, a day after the ministry announced the appointment. As was the case in the past, the KFA said, “Chairman Chung was given full authority,” and “Chairman Chung Mong-gyu only listened to the opinions, not the evidence that would reverse the ministry’s logic.” It also said about Hong Myung-bo that director Lee Im-saeng can hold an interview. The KFA has repeatedly said that it has authority no matter how many times its own high-ranking KFA and government agencies are in denial.
Regarding the appointment of coaches who do not have licenses, the coach called it a rule that does not fit the reality of soccer, and the physical coach’s credentials also require realistic understanding, saying, “One coach sometimes takes charge of two or more fields.” However, it is inevitable to appoint a coach who does not have the license required by AFC, a soccer organization, and say, “It does not fit the reality of soccer.”
Regarding the unapproved loan of 61.5 billion won, he said, “Please consider that there was a communication problem between the association and the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism when the association asked for approval.” Even after this situation is over, he is trying to ignore the “basic” of communicating properly and getting loans and say something absurd to understand the 61.5 billion won loan as a “communication problem.”
As for the false supply and demand of KRW 5.6 billion, which was established without office space, it is only said that ‘I was going to talk to the Ministry of Culture and Sports’ because I was caught cheating.
On the amnesty for match-fixing offenders, he also blamed the association on the committee, saying, “We have never confirmed or guided whether the Korea Football Association will revise the rules together if the KOC revises the rules.” He also said, “I have already apologized,” calling it a past incident for causing public anger.
The Korea Football Association, which failed to mention changing the successful candidates for P-level leaders, responded with absurd excuses by refuting Do Dong-pyo without giving a superior logic in the appointment of a coach who the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism said was wrong several times. 토토사이트
The logic of “I was going to talk about the false supply and demand of 5.6 billion won in state money” refutes – the Korea Football Association, the most popular sport in Korea, and it was just an absurd refutation of logic on how it has been operated so far.
