Gwangju FC '4.2 million won unpaid'...The aftermath is just beginning

Blog Article

The impact of professional soccer Gwangju FC's failure to pay 4.2 million won on time due to administrative errors is growing.

Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA) is in danger of facing another disciplinary action for failing to comply with the ban on player registration received from FIFA.

Pohang, which lost 0-1 to Gwangju last Sunday, filed a complaint with the Korea Professional Football Association the next day.

Since an unqualified player played, the confiscation loss should be considered.

Gangwon, which will face Gwangju on the 25th, is also considering raising an objection regardless of the result.

The start came from FIFA's disciplinary action in December last year.

Gwangju was disciplined by FIFA for "banning player registration" after failing to pay about 4.2 million won in "solidarity contributions" incurred when recruiting foreign player Asani in 2023.

Gwangju, which only recently learned of this, lifted the disciplinary action by paying the unpaid amount on the 21st, but the problem is that it recruited about 10 players last winter without knowing the disciplinary action.

According to FIFA's disciplinary decision, it stipulates that the disciplinary action is effective immediately and that non-compliance is subject to potential sanctions.

An example of potential sanctions was that they could be excluded from the FIFA tournament, including the World Cup, as well as all tournaments by continental affiliated associations.

The Korea Football Association, which also approved the player's registration without being aware of the disciplinary action, is waiting for an answer after sending a statement to FIFA this week that "the player's qualification should be recognized."

The entire league is expected to fluctuate depending on FIFA's decision, with keen attention being paid to FIFA's disciplinary action, such as forfeiture losses and points cuts for games played by registered players during the disciplinary period.
