South Korea’s Jung Sung-duk suffered an unexpected fracture at the Homeless World Cup Seoul 2024. The surgery went well, and the organizers plan to focus on rehabilitation and aftercare.

The Seoul 2024 Homeless World Cup has been taking place at Hanyang University’s Seoul Campus since the 21st. The Homeless World Cup aims to inspire people in the housing blind spots to gain a new lease on life through soccer and become part of civil society. The tournament also aims to raise awareness about the need for a 토토사이트 순위 social system that guarantees the right to housing for all people.

The Homeless World Cup has a full-time medical team due to the intense physicality of soccer. Fifteen physiotherapists and orthopedic surgeons, including a professor of physiotherapy from Denmark who volunteers for the tournament every year, are stationed at the stadium during the tournament. In Korea, the Korean Open Medical Association supports the tournament and provides care for injured players.

Every year, there are some injuries, such as broken bones, that cannot be resolved within the medical teams that are sent. The main objective of the Homeless World Cup is to inspire people outside the system to dream of a new life through soccer, and injuries like fractures are a major obstacle to that dream.

This was the case for Jung Sung-duk, who underwent surgery for a broken bone. The host country, South Korea, had eight players in the men’s national team, including Kim Jae-min (GK), Hong Seung-woo, Kim Sung-joon (captain), Nam Je-na, Lee Jae-sung, Yoo Chan-hyuk, and Fossi Wandji. They were at-risk youth, young adults preparing for independence, asylum seekers, and people with intellectual disabilities, each with their own dreams. Jung Sung-duk, a player with intellectual disabilities, came on as a substitute against Switzerland, but shortly afterward, he fractured his femur and had to leave the field and is currently undergoing post-operative treatment in a hospital.

For now, it’s best for the players to play with respect for each other. While Jung Sung-duk was undergoing treatment, Lee Han-byul, the national team coach, held a meeting with the national coaches and coaching staff to deliver a message about healthy competition, which is what the Homeless World Cup is all about. “Respect for opponents was a constant theme in our coaches’ meetings, and we emphasized it again after Jung Sung-duk’s injury,” said Lee, who is participating in his fourth Homeless World Cup as head coach.

Some safeguards have been put in place by the organizers in case of major injuries such as fractures. The Homeless World Cup Foundation requires players to have insurance, and for the Seoul edition, the organizers took out a sports-specific insurance policy upon registration to minimize the financial impact.

The Homeless World Cup Foundation encourages national organizers to create their own support and systems for injuries such as fractures. The main reason for this is that different countries have different social systems, so it is not possible to provide one-size-fits-all support, and this is an attempt to make the social system more complete.

Jung Sung-duk is protected by the social security system. She participated in the Homeless World Cup as part of her transition to social independence through a facility for the disabled, and is still being monitored by the facility’s staff for her post-surgery treatment and rehabilitation.

BIG ISSUE Korea, the co-host of the tournament and the operator of the Homeless World Cup National Team, will continue to support Jung until she completes her rehabilitation and moves toward independence. “Jung is fortunate to be protected by the social security system, so her rehabilitation is not a serious issue,” said Ahn Byung-hoon, executive director of BIG ISSUE Korea. ”We have provided support for injured members of the national team before. We will make efforts to improve the system to prevent them from falling into the blind spot of housing and not receiving support,” he said, adding that the organization is making sure that national team athletes continue their will to live a new life after the competition.
