KSAA issued a statement on the 25th saying, `We are deeply concerned about the excessive behavior of some fans that has occurred repeatedly since the recent K-League and Korea Cup games""In order to protect the human rights of players and leaders and to maintain a sound ecosystem of the league, we officially request institutional improvement from the Korea Professional Football Federation (K League) and the Korea Football Association (KFA)," he said."
KSAA believes that recent actions such as 'preventing buses', 'unilateral protests' and 'disgrace of coaches and players' at the K League and Korea Cup sites are leading to threats beyond just cheering.
The KSAA said, "This behavior has a serious negative impact on the psychological safety of the team as well as the image of the entire league."The team's attempts to privatize and the power of some fan communities pose a great threat to the sustainability of Korean professional football"The reason for the request for improvement of the system was explained.
1. Establishment of sanctions standards for threatening acts (regardless of whether the club reports on such acts as blocking buses), 3. Warning and sanctions against public disgrace and private attacks (establishment of a preemptive response system against unjust public attacks on athletes and coaches), 3. Restricting entry to games (restricting access to home and away games, implementing administrative sanctions such as warning measures), 4. Strengthening safety response protocols in stadiums (securing physical safety such as separation of audience seats, expansion of safety personnel, and maintenance of rapid response systems), 5.It urged the establishment of the system in a total of five categories, including regular communication with the fan community and the development of educational campaigns (continuous communication and guidance activities for a healthy fan culture).
The KSAA will continue to take the lead in creating an environment for the sustainability and development of Korean professional sports, and will work closely with related organizations to establish a culture in which the human rights of athletes and leaders are respected," he added.
