[이뉴스투데이 박병윤 기자] Chung Mong-gyu (58), the president of the Korea Football Association, succeeded in virtually winning the 3rd election as he stood alone in the 54th presidential election.
As a result of the registration of candidates for the election of the president of the Football Association, which ended at 6 pm on the 23rd, Chairman Chung Mong-gyu finished alone. With one candidate for registration, the Football Association decides whether to win the election after deliberation of the candidates by the Election Commission (hereinafter referred to as the Election Commission) without holding the election scheduled for January 6, according to the regulations of the Korean Sports Association.
Although deliberation by the Election Committee remains, Chairman Chung’s 3rd selection is certain because he has already been allowed to challenge the 3rd line from the Sports Fair Committee of the Korean Sports Association, and there are no special reasons for disqualification.
In accordance with the regulations, the Korea Football Association will announce the status of the candidate registration deadline on the 24th, and then announce the winners on January 7th next year after going through the election committee.
Previously, Chairman Chung, who was the first president of the 52nd Football Association presidential election in January 2013, succeeded in unanimously reappointing the delegates after standing alone in the 53rd Football Association President election held in July 2016.
Afterwards, Chairman Chung made a pledge to ▲ build a division system to realize the elevator system ▲ expand infrastructure such as the 2nd training center ▲ strengthen international competitiveness ▲ create a high-quality soccer culture ▲ strengthen the KFA brand power.
In addition, the establishment of the’Korea Football Comprehensive Center’ in Cheonan, Chungcheongnam-do, and the establishment of the division system was completed by launching the semi-professional K3 league in October last year to the amateur league K7 in May.’
In addition, in July 2018, he donated 4 billion won to spend on youth soccer development and the national team coach’s annual salary, won the 2018 Jakarta-Palembang Asian Games men’s soccer, and won the 2019 FIFA U-20 World Cup runner-up, Asia 2020. After winning the Football Federation (AFC) U-23 Championship, it was the first in the world to advance to the Olympics for 9 consecutive times.
As the second term of office ended, the question of whether Chung’s challenge to the third line became a concern in the soccer world.
According to the regulations of the Korean Sports Association, executives of member sports organizations can only be reappointed once, but if their contributions such as financial contributions, major international competition scores, and group evaluation are clear, exceptions have been made to challenge the third term.
On the 28th of last month, after receiving permission from the Korea Sports Association’s Sports Fair Committee to challenge the 3rd line, Chairman Chung submitted a statement of intention to register the candidate to the Secretariat of the Football Association on the 2nd and entered a state of suspension. after
Chairman Chung was the only one to submit documents during the candidate registration period that began on the 21st, and other candidates were not accepted until 6pm on the 23rd, which is the deadline for registration of candidates.
