February 27 – Chung Mong-gyu has secured a fourth time period as president of the Korea Soccer Affiliation (KFA), successful regardless of latest public dissatisfaction and robust competitors from two distinguished challengers.
Chung confronted opposition from Huh Jung-moo, who coached the nationwide staff on the 2010 World Cup, and Shin Moon-sun, a former participant and tv commentator. He garnered 156 out of 183 votes from the regional officers, gamers, referees, and coaches who made up the citizens.
“This election noticed widespread participation from the soccer group throughout the nation,” mentioned Chung, a former FIFA Council member. “I really feel an amazing sense of accountability and can try to fulfil my guarantees and work diligently for the betterment of the game.”
Chung’s decisive victory comes amid criticism over the previous few years. The 63-year-old, who initially took workplace in 2013 and is a member of the Hyundai household and chairman of its actual property division, has confronted scrutiny for allegedly circumventing normal KFA hiring procedures to nominate Jurgen Klinsmann as head coach in February 2023.
Klinsmann’s tenure lasted barely a 12 months, because the German was dismissed following South Korea’s defeat to Jordan within the semifinals of the Asian Cup final 12 months. Moreover, he was criticized for pardoning former gamers who had acquired lifetime bans for match-fixing.
Chung’s new four-year time period begins instantly and he’ll oversee the completion of the development of the brand new nationwide soccer headquarters in Cheonan.
