Newcastle United, which proudly posted the Rising Sun Flag on its official account, is being criticized worldwide. It turned out that the club had been making a shape reminiscent of the Rising Sun Flag through the card section of supporters even during the game.

The British Daily Mail reported on the 2nd (Korea time) "Newcastle United apologized for the scene in which a flag, recognized as an imperial symbol, appeared in the video of the launch of the third kit (third uniform) in the 2025-2026 season and deleted the scene."

Media outlets in most countries, including the BBC, The Sun, RMC Sports in France, and The Athletic in the United States, also expressed similar views on Newcastle's wrongdoings.




Newcastle recently became controversial when they put the Rising Sun Flag in a uniform promotion video on the club's social network service (SNS).

In the video, two fans appear with the Rising Sun Flag. The Rising Sun Flag is a war criminal flag used by Japan during World War II and symbolizes Japanese militarism.

When it became a problem, Newcastle re-uploaded a new version of the video that deleted the scene. He also published an apology.

Newcastle said it had "recently learned of the appearance of a flag that could unintentionally offend a third uniform promotional video" "and immediately removed the video and took steps to remove the scene in question from future content. We sincerely apologize to those who feel displeased."

Newcastle has used a shape reminiscent of the Rising Sun Flag in the stadium. In the English Premier League (EPL) match against Everton in May, fans created a pattern of alternating white and black lines through the card section. This seems to be a representation of Newcastle's striped uniform, but it is a performance that should not have been tried if there is an understanding of history.

Despite the controversy, Newcastle is expected to visit South Korea.




Newcastle will play a friendly match against Team K League at Suwon World Cup Stadium at 8 p.m. on the 30th. The pre-sale tickets for the game were sold out within 30 minutes after the opening. Newcastle's match against Tottenham on August 3 was sold out in 15 minutes. Newcastle are expected to sweep away a lot of money with the two consecutive Korean tours.
