National team striker Seok Hyun-joon, who was sentenced to 8 months in prison and 2 years probation on the 1st after controversy over avoiding military service, will find it difficult to return to the field for the time being.메이저놀이터
This is because it is impossible to register as a player during the probation period according to the rules of the Korea Football Association.
Seok Hyun-jun, who had not been able to find a league to play in since July of last year when his contract with Troyes (France) was terminated, was banned from playing for at least two more years from the time his sentence was confirmed, and his career as a player was at a crossroads.
Soccer fans who saw Seok Hyeon-joon losing his qualification as a player after being sentenced to probation must have doubts when thinking of player A from the K-League 1 club.
A was sentenced to 10 months in prison and 2 years probation in August 2019.
The court recognized responsibility for violating the center line while driving the previous year, colliding with an oncoming vehicle, and causing casualties.
A, who is known to have admitted wrongdoing and constantly apologized to the victim, continued to play professional soccer immediately after the sentence.
According to Yonhap News coverage on the 4th, the Korea Professional Football Federation at the time saw that there was no problem in A’s participation in the league as it was not an actual sentence.
In the federation registration regulations, there is no content such as disqualification when sentenced to probation.
The problem is that the association’s ‘professional player registration clause’ applied to Seok Hyun-jun covers not only the semi-professional K3 and K4 leagues, but also the professional soccer K League 1 and 2.
It is the same for professional players who are classified as ineligible to register during the period when they are sentenced to probation of imprisonment or heavier punishment.
If the procedure had been carried out normally, A would not have been able to lose his qualification as a player for two years from August 2019, or at least not be able to be listed in the regular registration before the 2020 season.
However, A played 10 more games in the 2019 season after the sentencing date. He played in 24 games in the 2020 season, and played another 23 games in the 2021 season until early August of the following year when his probation ended.
The registration of professional players is a three-tier structure in which clubs post their list, the federation second, and the association finally approves.
There was a proper beat between these three subjects.
At the time when registration was decided only through self-examination, it is inevitable to question whether the administration of the federation actively checked whether there were any violations of the association’s regulations, the upper body.
