(MHN Geum Yoon -ho reporter) China Super League (CSL) Shandong Taishan, which had been ‘No Show’ two hours ahead of Ulsan HD, could not avoid punishment.
The Asian Football Federation (AFC) said on the 4th that the disciplinary and ethics committee meeting held on July 30 will be charged for all AFC participation and fines of $ 50,000 for the next two years.
AFC then ordered to return all $ 800,000 in proceeds, including the 2024-2025 season, the Asian Football Federation Champions League Elite.
In addition, the Ulsan club also announced that it would pay $ 40,000 for damages.
Shandong said that it will give up suddenly two hours before the game with Ulsan, the eighth round of the 2024-2025 ACLE East Asian District League Phase, which was scheduled to be held at the Ulsan Munsu Soccer Stadium on February 19.
At the time, Shandong was already in the game after the local adaptation training, but declared his abstention on the basis of the Squad’s health problem.
Then, AFC was not able to give up one game, and it was regarded as abstained in the competition.
As a result, Pohang Steelers, who won 4-2 victories in Shandong, lost three points and failed to enter the tournament, which was only 9th in the league phase.
