Assembly to question Hong, Chung in soccer hearing

South Korea's National Assembly plans to conduct a parliamentary hearing on the Korea Football Association (KFA) in late July, focusing on controversies around its management and the selection of national team coaches. This follows South Korea's early elimination from the 2026 World Cup, which sparked criticism of coach Hong Myung-bo and the KFA's decision-making. The hearing will involve multiple witnesses, including former KFA leaders and prominent football figures, though uncertainty remains about their attendance. The assembly aims to investigate the appointment processes of coaches like Jurgen Klinsmann and Hong, as well as claims of opaque decision-making within the KFA.
