A long absence of the head of Korean soccer and the head of the Korea Football Association is inevitable.
The Korea Football Association held an emergency board meeting on the 14th and established a plan to form an election management committee this month to conduct the election work for the 55th president of the Korea Football Association, and to start the election work after approval by the board of directors in early February. The Korea Football Association has requested the National Election Commission to entrust the election.
On the 10th, all the existing members of the Election Management Committee resigned. While the court accepted candidate Huh Jung-moo's request for an injunction to suspend the election, it was known that some of the election management committee members were lawyers related to construction and real estate. Candidate Huh and candidate Shin Moon-sun criticized the close relationship with candidate Chung Mong-kyu, chairman of Hyundai Industrial Development. The Korea Football Association tried to resume the election on the 23rd but faced opposition from the two candidates, and the schedule was postponed indefinitely as the members also resigned. 메이저사이트
According to the KFA's current plan, elections are likely to take place in mid-February at the latest. The board of directors should form an election management committee, draw up electoral rolls, register candidates and take all the steps for official election campaigns. This means that the political situation will continue for another month or so. The position of the head of the Korean soccer team will also be vacant for a long time.
The K-League, the foundation of soccer, will also open in mid-February. In March, the third qualifying round for the 2026 North-China World Cup in Asia will begin. Soccer will work well without the president of the Korea Football Association, but many other projects will be stalled.
The chaotic atmosphere is not expected to be resolved easily until the election is over. Candidates Huh and Shin have not stopped their offensive against Chung.
Currently, other sports organizations are running relatively smoothly. Yoo Seung Min became the new head of the organization after an unexpected election for the chairman of the Korea Sports Council on Wednesday, and some organizations, including the Korea Rugby Association, are showing unexpected results.
The Korea Football Association is the largest sports organization and the organization that receives the most attention. In fact, the KFA became an issue of the entire nation last year, as it was heavily criticized by the National Assembly. However, the KFA was sanctioned by the court for failing to run elections smoothly and suffered setbacks. Eventually, the KFA faced an unprecedented situation where elections were postponed for more than a month. It is a time when Korean soccer is in a more shaky state than ever.
