The report that three officials from the Chinese Football Association also received entertainment, in connection with the alleged sexual entertainment provided by the Korea Football Association to foreign referees, is causing controversy in China.

In this issue, where the Korea Football Association (KFA) allegedly provided sexual entertainment to foreign referees and others at massage parlors, etc., from 2011 to 2012, with the possibility that two Japanese referees also received entertainment, the Japan Football Association (JFA) is conducting an investigation.

Meanwhile, on the 18th, Chinese sports media Zhibo.tv reported, citing a report from South Korea's Hankyoreh21, that officials from the Chinese Football Association were among those who received entertainment. It is reported that three Chinese Football Association officials who visited South Korea in January 2012 for referee exchanges were targets of the entertainment.

Chinese netizens voiced comments such as: 'In the end, we (China) couldn't stay uninvolved.' 'What deep exchanges.' 'Shameful.' 'What? There's nothing but shame to be had.' 'The Chinese Football Association is truly bottomless, to an astonishing degree.' 'This is the Football Association just as we imagined.'

Additionally, comments such as: 'It's become known all over the world.' 'Is the Chinese Football Association staying silent?' 'Please disclose the list of involved parties.' 'The Chinese side needs a thorough investigation.' 'Thorough accountability is necessary.' 'Unless the pus is drained, there is no hope for Chinese football.' were also received.

Furthermore, according to Yonhap News and others, the Korean National Police Agency stated at a press conference on the 19th that 'the statute of limitations for the alleged prostitution mediation appears to have expired.' Cases where the statute of limitations exceeds 15 years are limited to serious crimes. If the statute of limitations has expired, an investigation cannot be conducted.
