프로축구연맹, '호날두 노쇼' 위약금 미지급 더페스타 상대로 소송
Korea's domestic football league says it's filing a lawsuit next week against the organizer of last month's match between the K League All-stars and Italian football club Juventus.
The K League says marketing firm TheFasta failed to pay a penalty for breach of contract.
The contract reportedly stipulated that Juventus star Cristiano Ronaldo was to play at least 45 minutes.
But, fans were angered when he sat out the entire match, citing muscle fatigue.
The game was also delayed by an hour because Juventus were late.
