K League 2 new team Gimhae FC was punished with a large amount of sanctions for verbal abuse by executives and employees toward the referee. K League 1 Bucheon FC1995, which caused a stir for negligent crowd management, also failed to avoid disciplinary action at the federation level.

The Korea Professional Football Federation held its 10th reward and punishment committee on the 20th and decided to impose 10 million won in sanctions on Gimhae and 3 million won on Bucheon.

The disciplinary action imposed on the Gimhae club is based on an issue that occurred in the third round of the K League 2 match between Gimhae FC and Suwon FC at Gimhae Stadium on the 14th. According to the federation, after the game, Gimhae club executives and employees verbally abused the referees leaving the ground from the headquarters.

The K-League reward and punishment regulations stipulate that if a club's executives and employees act and insult the referee, they can impose sanctions on the club.

As a result, Gimhae is a new team, and at a time when it has to focus on a soft landing in the league, the team's front desk directly protested the referee's decision and made a big blow to the team's image.

The K League 1 Bucheon club was also disciplined for its lack of responsibility for managing spectator safety. The Bucheon crowd's slander against Ulsan players who were training to recover on the ground after the third round of the K League 1 match between Bucheon and Ulsan HD at Bucheon Stadium on the 15th began. In the process, a dangerous situation occurred in which one spectator threw foreign substances at the players.

In the event of a problem with the safety of spectators and the maintenance of stadium order under the Federation's game regulations, the relevant club must bear all responsibilities regardless of reasons. In particular, sanctions were inevitable in accordance with the reward and punishment regulations, as the throwing of foreign substances by spectators seriously hindered the progress and safety of the game.
