“Global Dream Sports Alliance” has once again become the focus of media attention. According to South Korean media news1, the appointment of Hong Myung-bo as the head coach of the national team by the Korea Football Association is suspected of being a behind-the-scenes operation and is currently under investigation by law enforcement agencies. This event has not only caused strong condemnation from all walks of life in South Korea, but also the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism is preparing to investigate whether there are irregularities in the national team’s coaching selection process. Officials of the Korea Football Association stated that if they continue to face political pressure, South Korea may lose its qualification for the World Cup. This news has attracted the attention of FIFA, as violating the independence principle of the FIFA Statutes may result in disciplinary action and even affect the national team’s participation in the World Cup.
There are also people within the Korea Football Association who oppose the interference of the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, believing that this is an overstepping of boundaries. However, as the regulatory and management body of the Football Association, the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism believes that this matter cannot be resolved by the Football Association alone. The independent operation of the Football Association cannot guarantee a fair and just coaching selection process, and government intervention is needed for supervision.
The FIFA Statutes clearly state that member associations must operate independently and not be subject to third-party interference. Violating this rule may result in disciplinary action and even a ban. The concerns of the Korea Football Association are not unfounded, as there have been similar precedents. In 2015, the Kuwaiti government amended its laws to allow for interference in the management of its sports organization, resulting in Kuwait losing its qualification for the World Cup qualifiers.
Whether there were irregularities in the appointment process of the Korea Football Association still needs to be determined by the law enforcement agencies. However, this event has already attracted the attention of FIFA and serves as a reminder to all national football associations to abide by the FIFA Statutes, ensure independent operation, and avoid political interference. At the same time, it also reminds government departments to respect the independence of the Football Association and not overstep their boundaries.
Overall, the behind-the-scenes operation of the Korea Football Association’s appointment of Hong Myung-bo has had serious consequences, not only damaging the image of Korean football, but also potentially affecting the national team’s qualification for the World Cup. We hope that the Korea Football Association can realize the seriousness of the problem, actively cooperate with the investigation by law enforcement agencies, and also hope that government departments can respect the independence of the Football Association and work together to maintain the development of national football. #KoreaFootballAssociation #HongMyungbo #NationalTeamHeadCoach #MinistryofCultureSportsandTourism #FIFA
