(OSEN = Jung Seung -woo) As Gangwon FC’s decision to hold Gangneung next year and the conflict with Chuncheon -si spreads, there is a voice that ‘local political logic’ is the essence of the problem.
Gangwon FC has recently decided to hold both K -League and Korea Cup home games in Gangneung in the 2026 season. Kangwon FC emphasized the principle that it was fairly evaluated based on only one subsidy, and there would be no further discussion.
Regional politics also forms a confrontation between the voice of ‘Gangwon FC excludes Chuncheon citizens’ and ‘Chuncheon City raises a problem with political logic’.
In this situation, a football official said, “There is no case of distributing home games into two regions worldwide.”
He said, “Gangneung wanted to do all 19 games, and the Asian Champions League (ACL) is also prohibited from being diversified. Maybe it was a special benefit that K -League gave only to Gangwon FC, and Chuncheon accepted it for granted and demanded it.”
The official also said, “ACL’s entry into the club is a good achievement, and it is deserved to be praised. But the controversy over the home game in this process is rather turned into the club’s responsibility.”
In the end, this situation is a political justification for Chuncheon City, and the Gangwon FC is summarized as a composition against ‘fairness and principles’. In the current situation where the achievement of entering ACL has been divided, it is expected that Gangwon FC will re -establish the identity and win -win principles of local clubs. /eccos23@osen.co.kr
