The Korea Football Association said, “The decision to postpone the Jeonbuk-Incheon match…”Jamboree variable. That’s too bad
The Korea Football Association (KFA) plans to decide on the schedule of the match between Jeonbuk Hyundai and Incheon United after discussing it later.
Jeonbuk and Incheon were scheduled to play the semifinals of the ‘2023 Hana One Q FA Cup’ at Jeonju World Cup Stadium at 7 p.m. on the 9th.
This is a postponement due to the 2023 Saemangeum World Scout Jamboree event. The Jamboree K-pop concert was suddenly changed to Jeonju World Cup Stadium. In the end, Jeonbuk even changed its game schedule in the aftermath of the event.
Jeonbuk said on the 6th, “The 2023 Saemangeum World Scout Jamboree’s K-pop performance event and closing ceremony will be held at Jeonju World Cup Stadium on the 11th.” Therefore, the schedule for the two home games scheduled for next week will be changed. I ask for your understanding for causing confusion to fans due to a sudden change in the game schedule of the game. “We will guide you as soon as the details of the game are decided,” he officially announced.
The KFA notified each club of the postponement of the game due to a sudden change. It was a one-sided decision. Incheon said on its official channel on the 7th, “At noon today, all the players waiting in Jeonju withdrew after receiving an official letter from the KFA about changing the game schedule unilaterally. “The club tried its best to ensure that the FA Cup semifinals went ahead as scheduled, but we regret that the schedule has been unilaterally changed, and we ask for your generous understanding,” he said.
With the Incheon team withdrawing from Jeonju, the possibility that the Jamboree K-pop concert will be changed back to the Seoul World Cup Stadium due to the influence of Typhoon “Kanun” has been raised. Wherever it was held, the match between Jeonbuk and Incheon could proceed normally if it were not for Jeonju World Cup Stadium.
However, the KFA decided to maintain its decision to postpone the game. The KFA decided to postpone the FA Cup semifinals between Jeonbuk and Incheon, which were scheduled to be held at Jeonju World Cup Stadium on the morning of the 8th. The schedule will be announced later after consultation between the KFA and the two clubs. 스포츠토토
Regarding the reason for maintaining the decision, the KFA plans to maintain the decision made yesterday, considering that various factors such as Typhoon Kanun, which is heading north, are variable. “We are sorry that soccer fans who planned to attend the game as variables related to the Jamboree event, and both clubs preparing for home and away games, have disrupted their schedules and preparations,” he explained.
