China strips the Panda Cup from South Korea's victorious under-18 team after they infuriated hosts China with their impolite celebrations.
A member of South Korea’s youth team of under-18 squad posing for a picture with his foot on the trophy after winning the Panda Cup in Chengdu, Sichuan, China.
The Koreans were accused of disrespect after they defeated the home side 3-0 on Wednesday to win the annual youth international competition in the city of Chengdu. But with Chinese media fanning the flames, and claims that Korean players also pretended to urinate against the cup, the Chengdu Football Association made clear that apologies were not enough.
But the tournament winners have been scrambling to limit the fall-out since the image emerged of the player with his foot on the cup.
