# Korea Football Association National Team Support Staff Rescues Players From Playing Cards During Asian Cup

It was belatedly confirmed that the association's support staff was relieved of their position after playing cards with some of the players during the national soccer team's call-up for the Qatar Asian Cup.

The Korea Football Association said that the team leader, a support staff member, used chips to play cards with some of the players in the lounge of the hotel, was not appropriate, so he will be relieved of his position and hold a personnel committee later to discipline him.

Regarding reports that employees and players played gambling cards with stakes, the Korea Football Association explained that playing cards is different from gambling acts, saying that players sometimes bet on the goalpost at the training site.

The KFA's internal guidelines say that staff will minimize contact with players so that they can focus on the game during the tournament. [토토사이트](https://www.gwolf.info/)
