The Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism announced the results of the Korea Football Association’s audit. The Korea Football Association also plans to make a position soon.
The Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism announced the final results of a specific audit of the Korea Football Association at 1:30 p.m. on the 5th. Since July 29, the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism has conducted an audit on the Korea Football Association’s Klinsman, the appointment of national team coach Hong Myung-bo, the sudden amnesty and withdrawal of corrupt soccer players, the execution of loans and subsidies related to the construction of the Korea Football Center, the payment of salary advisory fees for part-time executives, the management of leadership qualifications, and other operational matters.
Among them, the Korea Football Association confirmed the violation of related regulations and procedures and announced the interim results of the audit in October for the appointment of national team coaches Clinsman and Hong Myung-bo, who had high public interest. The Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism pointed out that both Clinsman and Hong Myung-bo had problems with the procedure at the time.
The Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism notified the Korea Football Association of reprimand (disciplinary action), correction, caution, notification, and system improvement for a total of 27 cases of illegal and unfair matters. In addition, it demanded measures to ensure fairness in football administration through audit.
Regarding the results of the ministry’s audit, the Korea Football Association said, “We are reviewing the request for reconsideration regarding the results of the ministry’s audit. The association’s position on the results of the ministry’s audit will be announced in a press release tomorrow (6th).”
The Korea Football Association has continued to display disappointing performance, drawing criticism from fans. Bad news has continued, including surprise amnesty for corrupt soccer players, the Asian Cup disaster, and failure to advance to the Olympics. It was the appointment of Hong Myung-bo that put an end to fans’ anger.
The Korea Football Association replaced Klinsmann and set up a strengthening committee to find a new coach. The name of Hong Myung-bo came from the beginning, but it failed to pass due to strong opposition from fans in the K-League. It seemed as if he was appointing a foreigner as the next coach, but it was Hong Myung-bo after all. In addition, he was suspected that Hong was appointed through unfair procedures. 메이저놀이터
Fans directly expressed their anger at the Korea Football Association (KFA). They put up a banner criticizing Chairman Chung Mong-gyu and the KFA in a K-League match. In September, Hong Myung-bo showed a boycott against Palestine, the first game of the team. As a result, tickets failed to sell out, and fans at the stadium booed, “Jung Mong-gyu, get out,” and “Hong Myung-bo, get out.”
Coach Hong Myung-bo was slow in the beginning, but his performance has been improving over time. However, the good performance of Coach Hong Myung-bo and the wrong management method of the Korea Football Association are two separate issues. The Korea Football Association should take responsibility for matters pointed out by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism.
