According to the report by the Korea Football Association and the soccer community, the association is in the process of obtaining a loan of 30 billion won from Hana Bank early next year. The 30 billion won will amount to 19 percent of the association's budget for 2023. The 2023 budget includes 51.1 billion won for the construction of the soccer center. 토토사이트 순위

The Cheonan Football Center has been under construction since April 2022. The original construction cost, which was established before the start of construction, was 309.4 billion won (189.4 billion won in Cheonan City and 120 billion won in the Korea Football Association). However, the association's position is that loans are inevitable as construction costs increase due to increased labor costs and construction materials costs. If the association borrows 30 billion won and spends construction costs, the total construction cost will increase to 150 billion won.

The Cheonan center is 478,000 square meters in size. Among them, the association will build 115,000 square meters and Cheonan City will build 363,000 square meters, respectively. The association and Cheonan City will carry out construction on their respective sites independently, and after completion, the association will manage some of the facilities owned by the city through consignment management. The association's site will have a small stadium, indoor soccer field, lodging building, three natural turf soccer fields, two artificial turf soccer fields, and two hybrid grass soccer fields. The site will have two natural turf soccer fields, two artificial turf soccer fields, a soccer museum, a gym, and sports facilities. The completion is scheduled for December 2024 at the earliest.

The association will borrow 30 billion won and pay off the principal and interest at the same time for 10 years. The association explained, "A total of 39 billion won, including principal and interest, must be paid back for 10 years." The Paju Training Center was established in 2001 and its use will expire in January next year when the donation deadline ends. To continue using the Paju Center, the association has to pay 2.6 billion won per year to Paju City. "Even if we pay 2.6 billion won in rent every year, Paju Center cannot be owned by the association," an association official said. "More than that, we decided that it was reasonable to invest 3.9 billion won per year for 10 years to build the Cheonan Center, which is owned by the association." The association said, "Since the association purchased 115,000㎡ of land, both the site and the facilities (under construction) are owned by the association," adding, "It is not a condition for donation."

Before the completion of the Cheonan Center, the national soccer team needs a place to train stably. "If the association leaves the Paju Training Center, Paju City should directly manage and operate the center," an association official said. "If Paju City does not have any measures, the association is considering various ways to operate the center on behalf of Paju City for a certain period of time or to use it as a concept of paying a certain amount of money to rent if there is a demand for national team training."

The association has been running a funding program for soccer players and soccer fans since the 1st to build the Cheonan Center. It is a form of donation for construction. In return for donations, the association decided to create a naming gallery on the plaza of the general center for donors of 1 million won or more for individuals and 5 million won or more for organizations or corporations to have their names engraved on the walls and sidewalk blocks. The Cheonan Football Center construction project was launched by the Korea Football Association in 2018 to target local governments across the country. Cheonan City was selected as the top priority negotiation by competing with 24 local governments, and construction began in April 2022.
