Gwangju FC has apologized for the FIFA disciplinary action for failing to pay solidarity contributions.
Gwangju said in an apology posted on its official SNS account on the 21st, "We deeply feel responsible for the issue of 'non-payment of Asani players' solidarity contributions and unrecognized FIFA disciplinary action', and sincerely apologize to fans and officials."

"We humbly accept the rebuke from the fans and apologize for the delay in the official position while prioritizing the settlement of the situation," he said.

According to the club, Gwangju paid Asani's solidarity contributions notified by the FIFA Clearing House three times in August and September last year and May this year, but they were not deposited.

"The specific cause is being identified with financial institutions, and we did not recognize the payment reminder e-mails and disciplinary decisions as leave of absence for the person in charge," he explained.

The club recently recognized this and added, "We received a final notification from FIFA on the completion of the payment."

"In connection with this incident, the club is strictly judging the work gap and will try to check the internal system and prevent a recurrence," he stressed.

"We will do our best to resolve the situation smoothly through cooperation with related organizations such as FIFA, Asian Football Confederation (AFC), Korea Football Association, and Korea Professional Football Federation," he said, "Once again, I deeply apologize."
The Korea Football Association also reiterated its position that it will continue to communicate with FIFA to resolve the issue. 토토사이트

Kim Seung-hee, a professional director of the Korea Football Association, said at the inaugural press conference, "It has been only a few years since the FIFA Clearing House system was established. From what we hear from the field, it seems that not only Korea but also other countries are in the process of settling down," adding, "We will communicate with FIFA and AFC. We are planning to accurately identify the problem and discuss it with the Korean Professional Football Federation to prevent it from happening again."
