Japan's Junya Ito, who was accused of sexual misconduct, heads to the bench during the 2023 Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Qatar Asian Cup round of 16 match between Bahrain and Japan held at Al Thumama Stadium in Doha, Qatar on the 31st (local time).

The Japan Football Association (JFA) withdrew its decision to discharge striker Junya Ito (31, Stade Reims), who was suspected of sexual misconduct, after about 12 hours.

The JFA announced on the 2nd (hereinafter Korean time) that it had decided to cancel and temporarily withdraw the decision to lift Ito's convocation. 메이저-토토사이트

The JFA initially announced Ito's cancellation on the 1st, saying that he would not be able to play the remaining games normally, but 12 hours later, on the morning of the 2nd, they hastily issued an announcement and corrected this. The reason was, “I want my fellow players to go to the championship with Ito.”

Previously, on the 31st of last month, the Japanese media 'Weekly Shinjo' reported that Ito was criminally charged with being the perpetrator of a sexual crime.

According to reports, Ito is suspected of having had sexual intercourse with two women, including the accuser, A, in her 20s, without their consent after drinking alcohol.

Afterwards, the JFA seemed to quickly resolve the chaotic atmosphere by discharging Ito, but he completely reversed his position in just 12 hours, making it impossible to avoid criticism for hasty management.

However, Ito's return has not been decided. First of all, only the discharge of the summons was temporarily withdrawn.

Ito was named as a substitute in the round of 16 match against Bahrain immediately after reports of sexual assault allegations emerged, but did not play in the game. 토토사이트 추천
