A national petition has been raised asking for the cancellation of the friendly match between the Korean and Japanese men’s soccer teams in Yokohama, Japan.
On the 11th, on the Blue House national petition bulletin board, a petition titled’Please stop the Korea-Japan soccer match for the national team’ was posted.
Petitioner said, “On March 25th, there was an announcement that the Korea-Japan national soccer game will be held in Yokohama. It is said that the Japan Football Association’s proposal is a form that our football association accepts. What are the crimes of national football players in this current situation? So, he explained why he wrote the petition, saying, “Isn’t it that I had to go to Yokohama, Japan to play a soccer game, or whether the football association is sane?”
He said, “Now Japan has a lot of confirmed cases due to the inability to cope with the coronavirus, among which Yokohama has more confirmed cases. Perhaps Japan is trying to promote the Olympics as well through the evaluation match with Korea. Why is there our athletes there? They have to be used,” he said.
On the 25th, he said, “Innocent players go to quarantine and quarantine. Then, when confirmed, the game is impossible to play with aftereffects. Looking at a soccer association that is used so pathlessly in Japan and not in other countries, it is so pathetic and pathetic, and speechless.” He petitioned for the suspension of the Korean-Japanese football match held in the Republic of Korea and dismissing the officials of the Football Association.
On the 10th, the Korea Football Association (KFA) announced on the 25th that a friendly match between the Korean and Japanese national players will be held at the Nissan Stadium in Yokohama, Japan. This is a Korea-Japan match held 10 years after Korea lost 0-3 in Sapporo, Japan in August 2011.
When the news became known, some netizens pointed out that it was a frivolous decision, referring to interviews with several national players who complained of suffering from Corona 19 infection.
