The Korea Football Association (KFA) accelerates the selection of a successor to manager Paulo Bento along with a budget review.
The association announced on the 13th that it held the last board meeting of this year at the Seoul Soccer Hall in Jongno-gu and deliberated on next year’s budget.
The budget of the Korea Football Association for 2023 set by the board of directors on this day is 158.1 billion won. This is an increase of 44 billion won from this year’s budget of 114.1 billion won, the largest budget ever. The previous maximum budget was 123.4 billion won in 2013.

Among next year’s budget revenues, the association’s own revenues, such as sponsorships from official partner companies, profits from A matches, and dividends from the International Football Federation (FIFA), are the largest at 88.7 billion won. Sports Toto fund income of 22 billion won is next.
In terms of expenditure, the cost of constructing a comprehensive soccer center accounted for the largest share at 51.1 billion won, followed by operating expenses of 32.5 billion won for national teams at each level and 26.9 billion won for domestic competitions. 안전놀이터
