South Korean police prepare heightened security at the airport where the national football team is scheduled to arrive following the World Cup. Multiple reports say riot police and large numbers of officers will be deployed to manage crowds and protect officials. The measures are linked to a reported threat to the life of the team’s manager. Sources indicate the manager has resigned and that the threat was made around the time of his return, prompting concerns for his safety.
The reports state that security planning includes bringing in substantial police resources, including riot police units, at the airport during the team’s arrival period. The coverage ties the intensified measures to the manager’s reported death threat rather than to any confirmed incident at the airport itself. The reports do not provide further details on the source of the threat or whether any suspect has been identified. Officials are expected to coordinate with airport and event security to control access and protect the manager and other team staff as the team returns home.
