Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.FIFA have charged a South Korea player after he displayed a flag with a political message during his side's bronze medal win over Japan in Cardiff.
Jongwoo Park allegedly displayed a banner supporting sovereignty of a group of islands that is disputed territory between the two countries - political messages are banned at the Olympics.
A FIFA spokesman said: "In view of the information currently at his disposal, the chairman of the FIFA disciplinary committee has this afternoon decided to open disciplinary proceedings against the player Jongwoo Park, regarding his behaviour after the match played between the Republic of Korea and Japan on August 10.
"The KFA and the player now have a deadline of August 16 to provide their position. Further information will be provided in due course."
