South Korea Federation in Funding Scandal
Reports reveal that the South Korean Football Association was involved in a scandal related to providing sexual services to foreign referees between 2011 and 2012, using its credit cards to pay for massage salons and adult entertainment venues during Olympic and World Cup qualifier matches. About 12 referees and officials reportedly benefited from these practices. It was also noted that such practices were widespread, with some referees explicitly requesting to be taken to adult venues, although the details remained secret and were only uncovered years later. These violations breach South Korea's local laws as well as FIFA's regulations, occurring amidst legal and political crises facing the association, including a police raid on its headquarters to investigate corruption allegations linked to the appointment of former national team coach Hong Myeong-bo.
