Son Jun-ho's return to the K-League has been confirmed. The destination is Asan, South Chungcheong Province in the K League 2.
A person familiar with the K-League transfer market agreed that Son Joon-ho will go to Asan, South Chungcheong Province. It even conducted a medical test on the 5th. There will be an announcement soon." Son Joon-ho, who was able to continue his career with the relief of FIFA, succeeded in returning to the K-League five months after the contract was terminated with Suwon FC. An official said, `Son Joon-ho is scheduled to join the second winter training camp in Asan, South Chungcheong Province, which will take place in Jeju from the 6th.'
The Korea Football Association (KFA) received an official letter from FIFA on the 24th saying that `CFA's request to expand Son Joon-ho's disciplinary action worldwide was rejected.' Son Joon-ho also informed the official letter and the facts."
Son Joon-ho became free about 10 months after he was criminally detained by Chinese police in May last year for taking over non-state workers. He returned home in March in a surprise move after being released from custody. Son Joon-ho made a quick comeback. In June, he was issued an International Transfer Agreement (ITC) and joined Suwon FC after the approval of the CFA and KFA. The hard work that has been steadily building the body has not betrayed. Son Joon-ho, who played immediately, scored one goal and one assist in 12 league games. He has established himself as a key midfielder for Suwon FC and has contributed to advancing to the Final A.
However, on September 10 last year, he was permanently expelled by the CFA on charges of match manipulation, and his life was at a crossroads again. Along with the allegation that `Son Joon-ho, who played for Shandong Taishan, participated in unjustified transactions, manipulated soccer matches, and gained illegal profits in order to promote unjustified interests,' he stated `It prohibits any activities related to Son's soccer in the future for life.' The CFA notified FIFA of the disciplinary action and requested that the disciplinary action be extended worldwide. If approved by FIFA, the worst case scenario of not being able to play soccer anywhere in the world, Son Joon-ho immediately held a press conference and did not "manipulate the match." he appealed. However, public opinion deteriorated, and Suwon FC terminated Son Joon-ho's contract on September 14 after much consideration.
Son Jun-ho didn't give up. Waiting for FIFA's decision, he prepared to return. He built his body and maintained his condition to play as soon as possible. In fact, even before FIFA's decision to dismiss it, clubs continued to call for love. Son Joon-ho is an FA, and as FIFA is based on the presumption of innocence, there was no problem in issuing the ITC. Proposals have been made not only in Asia, such as the Middle East, but even in Mexico. It was a conditional contract that could be terminated immediately if FIFA cited the CFA's request, but Son Joon-ho gained confidence from the steady interest of overseas teams. It meant that he was recognized for his skill and value. Son rejected several other offers, keeping only the K League in mind.
On the 24th, about four months later, a major reversal occurred ahead of the Lunar New Year holiday. FIFA dismissed the CFA's disciplinary action against Son Joon-ho, judging that the evidence was insufficient. The CFA's submission to FIFA reportedly did not specify specific violations of the players' match-fixing and how much money they received. The KFA stated "The disciplinary action is effective only in China. As a result, Son Joon-ho said, "Not only K-League teams but also overseas leagues excluding the Chinese league have opened the way for registration."
The result of patience was sweet. Son Joon-ho, who is able to play soccer again, immediately started preparing to return. As honor recovery is a priority, Son Joon-ho pushed for a return to the K-League. As many as eight teams showed interest. Four K-League 1 teams and four K-League 2 teams jumped into the recruitment of Son Joon-ho. Among them, the most active team was Asan, South Chungcheong Province. Chungnam Asan immediately contacted Son Joon-ho as soon as his soccer path opened. High-ranking officials in Asan, Chungcheongnam-do, showed trust in Son Joon-ho to the end, and Son Joon-ho also opened his heart. Son Jun-ho's soccer clock has opened again.
