Police raid Korea Football Association over Coach's Bakery scandal
South Korean police have launched a search operation at the headquarters of the Korean Football Association to investigate allegations of illegal interference by officials in the appointment of coach Hong Myung-bo in 2024, which led to the national team's exit from the World Cup. The raids targeted the main office in Cheonan and the central Seoul offices, aiming to seize documents that demonstrate the influence of senior officials, including the former president and the former technical director, in the illegal appointment of the coach. Hong Myung-bo was questioned regarding alleged pressure and breach of trust during the appointment process. The investigation has been ongoing for nearly two years and intensified following the team's failure at the World Cup.
