In recent matches in the Korean volleyball tournament, the teams spent minutes of reciting to commemorate the victims of the Jeju Air plane crash at MuaN International Airport (South Jeolla Province, South Korea) on December 19.
Most recently, the Korean Football Federation (Kovo) has been told to cancel the All-Star match that is expected to take place on January 4. According to Kovo, this ALF results after a meeting about whether or not to conduct this match.
The agency said it was difficult to organize the match that was like a volleyball festival during the national funeral when the entire people were grieving because of the tragic plane crash.
Therefore, even the later organization schedule is inappropriate at the present time. Moreover, backing up the schedule can affect the separate schedule of each club as well as the hire of the stadium.
Kovo apologizes to fans for their interest in the All-Star match. The agency will focus on the league that is taking place with the next round on January 7 and hope the tournament will end smoothly.
The All-Star event is considered a festival of Korean volleyball and is famous throughout Asia. However, with the current situation, the cancellation of this match receives a lot of public agreement.
