Football Association "Review Request for Review"...Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism's audit refutation

A day after the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism's audit results were announced, the Korea Football Association refuted it one by one and emphasized that it would review the request for reconsideration.

The Korea Football Association explained in detail what the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism pointed out, including the appointment and handling of the national team coach, issues related to the Cheonan Football Center, the announcement and withdrawal of pardons for soccer players, and the payment of advisory fees for part-time executives.

The association said it was difficult to agree with the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism's criticism that procedural defects were identified in violation of regulations in the process of appointing directors, and explained that the power reinforcement committee conducted it within the scope of its duties in accordance with regulations when Klinsmann and Hong Myung-bo were appointed.

He also mentioned that the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism delayed and there were communication problems between the two sides, rather than arbitrarily excluding the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism when signing a negative bank account of 61.5 billion won in February this year to build the Cheonan Football Center.

Regarding the soccer player amnesty incident last year, it said that it immediately withdrew the entire plan, apologized to the public, and deleted the amnesty clause in accordance with the regulations.

The Korea Football Association, however, added that it will do its best to come up with improvement measures after careful review of the payment of advisory fees for part-time executives and the operation of P-level leaders.
