At today’s meeting of the Executive Committee, it was resolved that the contract with Mr KAGEYAMA Masanaga, Technical Director of Japan Football Association (JFA), be terminated, and that he be relieved of his duties with immediate effect.
This decision follows a guilty verdict issued in relation to Mr Kageyama’s conduct during an overseas business trip.
The JFA deeply regrets this situation and offers its sincere apologies for the concern and disruption this matter has caused.
Statement from JFA President, MIYAMOTO Tsuneyasu
This incident is entirely unacceptable within the world of football. While efforts have been made in the past, we must take this opportunity to thoroughly review and reinforce the governance and compliance structures within the football community. With renewed determination, we are committed to making significant and lasting improvements. We will also reaffirm our dedication to the core values and mission of the JFA, and ensure that our actions are guided accordingly.
