SEOUL: South Korea's K League will have a profile it has never enjoyed before when the delayed 2020 season kicks off in Jeonju on Friday, providing top-flight soccer action to a world starved of live sport.
"I expect sports to give hope to the people desiring the recovery of their daily lives as early as possible," the country's President Moon Jae-in said on Wednesday. Players and staff will also have their temperatures checked when they enter the stadium, even though they have all been tested for the virus.
If any players or staff test positive for COVID-19 during the remainder of the season, their team will be suspended from competition for two weeks. "The biggest source of revenue for the league and teams is broadcast rights and sponsorship," Lee added. It has fallen behind the other top East Asian leagues in profile in recent years despite boasting more Asian club champions than any other nation, with Jeonbuk accounting for two of the 11 titles won by South Korean sides.
