Gwangju FC scored a theater goal in the 44th minute of the second half in an away game in Pohang.

The winner of the final goal was Park In-hyuk.

However, the Pohang Steelers challenged the Korea Professional Football Association about the game.

An unqualified player played in the game.

The start began when Gwangju FC recruited Asani, a foreign player, last year.

If a player with a remaining contract period with another club is brought in, the new club has to pay 5% of the transfer fee as a joint contribution, but it has been unpaid due to administrative error.

FIFA imposed a ban on player registration on Gwangju FC, which violated the rules, but Gwangju FC recruited Park In-hyuk without even recognizing this, which eventually led to controversy over unqualified players.

Gwangju FC finally bowed its head.

Gwangju explained the details of the case in an apology and said it has launched an investigation into the cause.

While some say that Gwangju FC's game should be forfeited and lost this season, the Korea Football Association ruled in favor of Gwangju.

However, there was also the possibility that participation in the World Cup could be restricted due to disciplinary failure.

The Korea Football Association said it will make a comprehensive decision through close exchanges with FIFA.

Gwangju is actively explaining to FIFA and the Federation that it is an intentional administrative mistake. 먹튀검증

However, as there are growing calls for the administration of professional sports teams to be professional, it seems necessary to reveal the responsibility and come up with measures to prevent recurrence.
