Regarding the recent issue raised by FC Anyang owner Choi Dae-ho about the overall refereeing decision through a press conference, the Korea Professional Football Judgment Council deeply regrets.
First of all, I humbly listen to the club's questions about the decision, and I am sorry on behalf of the judges that some of them may have caused you to feel disbelief. The role of a referee is the last bastion of fairness in the game, and our council recognizes the weight of its responsibility more heavily than anyone else.
However, indiscriminate generalization or baseless allegations directed at the entire referee's team can seriously undermine the independence and reputation of referees, making it clear that this is a critical issue that can destroy the foundation of trust in Korean football.
As a result, the council believes that the remarks could have a significant impact on the reputation and independence of the entire judging panel and is carefully considering the facts and legal issues. We will take all necessary countermeasures according to the results, and we will maintain a strong position to prevent similar cases from occurring in the future.
In addition, the Korean Professional Football Judgment Council has taken this controversy as an opportunity to further strengthen the fairness and professionalism of refereeing decisions. As a result, we ask for close cooperation from related organizations, such as the Korea Football Association and the Korea Professional Football Federation, and we will jointly promote the internalization of the refereeing education and evaluation system along with the institutional improvement of the overall judgment system. In addition, we plan to continue discussing with related organizations how to develop mid- to long-term measures to increase the transparency and reliability of the refereeing system. 먹튀검증
The authority of judges should be built on fairness, and that fairness should be maintained on respect and trust. The Korean Council of Professional Football Judges, a corporation, will continue to do its best to maintain fairness and order in football at the center of the game.
