The South Korea national football team finished third in the FIFA World Cup 2026 group stage with 1 win and 2 losses. Lawmaker Song Young-gil criticized the Korea Football Association, saying it is the biggest enemy of Korean football.

What is the problem?

The problem with the Korea Football Association is that the process is not fair. Despite the existence of documents related to the 11th meeting that appointed Hong Myung-bo as manager, Korea Football Association chairman Chung Mong-gyu explained that there was no meeting in the National Assembly.

Why is it important?

The result of this World Cup was a disaster that was already predicted at the 2014 Brazil World Cup. It is difficult to expect the future of Korean football from the Korea Football Association, which lacks procedure, responsibility, and reflection.

What is needed?

What Korean football needs now is not a change of manager, but a reform of the Korea Football Association. | Date | Match Result | | --- | --- | | 2025-11-18 | Korea 1-0 Ghana |
