FIFA Restricts Son Jun-ho to China... to Return to K-League and Overseas League

As FIFA rejected the Chinese Football Association's request for "expanding Son Joon-ho's permanent expulsion to the world," Son Joon-ho's return to the ground became possible.
The Korea Football Association said on Monday, "We received an official letter from FIFA indicating that the Chinese Football Association's request to expand Son's disciplinary action worldwide has been rejected." As a result, Son's permanent expulsion will be effective only in China.
On the 10th, the Chinese Football Association imposed a severe disciplinary action on Son Joon-ho, who was permanently expelled. Regarding the charge of "taking non-state workers," he said, "According to the facts admitted by the judicial authorities, Son Joon-ho participated in unfair transactions to promote unjust interests, manipulating the soccer game and earning illegal profits." Accordingly, he announced, "We will ban any activities related to Son Jun-ho's soccer for life."
The Chinese Football Association, which reported the disciplinary action to FIFA and the Asian Football Confederation (AFC), went a step further and requested that Son be punished globally. However, FIFA's disciplinary committee did not accept it.
Son's criminal case in China began in May 2023. After being arrested at Shanghai's Hongqiao Airport, he was investigated by the Chaoyang Public Security Bureau in Liaoning Province for about 10 months. "The crime of accepting non-state workers" is a crime that applies when a person belonging to an organization other than a government agency illegally receives property for convenience of duty.
However, Son has strongly denied allegations that he participated in rigging matches or received bribes during the process of moving to Shandong. After being released in March last year, Son joined Suwon FC in June and successfully returned to the K League 1 but his contract was terminated in September due to permanent expulsion from the Chinese Football Association.
The FIFA decision gives Son a new opportunity. "The decision allows him to register as a soccer player not only in the K-League but also in overseas leagues other than China," an official from the Korea Football Association said. "The decision paved the way for Son to play soccer everywhere except the Chinese league." 메이저놀이터
This allows Son to take on a new challenge by maintaining his innocence. The decision by FIFA suggests that the Chinese Football Association may have deemed the disciplinary action excessive, and attention is focused on Son's future move.
