The meeting was made through contact from Gangwon FC. Gangwon FC and the Chuncheon Football Association met at the Gangwon FC secretariat on the morning of the 7th. Recently, Gangwon FC and Chuncheon City took a deteriorating day due to the issue of hosting the Asian Champions League Elite (ACLE) home. The two sides agreed on hosting ACLE in Chuncheon in a large framework, but they blushed in the process.
Gangwon FC originally planned to play ACLE home games in Gangneung. However, the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) notified that it was impossible to host Gangneung. AFC requires a straight distance from the international airport within 200km, access to the stadium within 150 minutes, and more than four domestic flights a day as conditions for hosting ACL home games. However, Gangneung did not meet this requirement. Yangyang International Airport is currently in a state where it is difficult to meet AFC's standards due to its unstable operation.
Gangwon FC, which suddenly operated Plan B, contacted Chuncheon City with the top priority to host in Gangwon-do, but Chuncheon City expressed its intention not to host the ACLE home game due to facility conditions. Chuncheon City proposed a working-level meeting, but the atmosphere was cold with preconditions. CEO Kim Byung-ji personally held a press conference and said, `Chuncheon City should first announce its intention to host the ACLE home game. Otherwise, we have no choice but to doubt whether we are willing to hold the K-League next year" , the conflict has reached its peak.
Chuncheon City refuted this. Chuncheon City responded with a strong tone, saying, `Gangwon FC chose to hold citizens and soccer fans as pawns rather than dialogue.' In particular, the Chuncheon branch of the civil service union made a statement in comparison with Gangneung City, which had been confronted with the right to host the home. They criticized CEO Kim Byung-ji and urged a public apology. Gangwon did not back down. Immediately through the entrance statement 'The preconditions must be resolved Chuncheon City said again that it is possible to hold the ACL home game.
The two sides held a working-level meeting to untie the thread. In principle, Chuncheon City decided to hold ACLE. However, conflict erupted once again during the demolition process with a hanger caught in the game last weekend. This is why Gangwon FC worked hard on this meeting.
Gangwon FC had an honest conversation, including a part that was misrepresented and hurtful. As CEO Kim is currently on an overseas business trip, Lim Kwan-hwi, chairman of the Chuncheon Football Association, promised to meet again before the Chuncheon home game on the 11th.
The two sides are basically "Football should be solved in footballWe agreed with each other on the purpose of " and promised to strive for mutual development in the future. Gangwon FC and Chuncheon Football Association will continue to communicate and cooperate with Gangwon Special Self-Governing Province to develop Chuncheon Football.
