Huh Jung-moo, former chairman of Daejeon Hana Citizen in the K-League 1, officially announces his candidacy for the presidential election of the Korea Football Association.
Former chairman Huh Jung-moo will hold a press conference at the Olympic Parktel at 2 p.m. on the 25th to run for president of the Korea Football Association.
As a soccer player, Heo has taken the path of player, manager, and administrator.
As a player, he played for PSV Eindhoven (the Netherlands) in the early 1980s and experienced the European stage.
In 1990, he transformed into a leader and led professional soccer K-League clubs such as Jeonnam Dragons and Incheon United.
He also led the Korean men’s soccer team and wrote history.
Former chairman Huh made it to the round of 16 at the 2010 FIFA South Africa World Cup for the first time in history.
Since then, he has served as an administrator.
He served as vice president of the Korea Football Association from 2013 to 2014, and also served as vice president of the Korea Professional Football Association from 2015 to 2019.
And he served as chairman of Daejeon until last year.
Former chairman Huh challenged the president of the Korea Football Association, which has been held by the Hyundai family for 31 years.
According to Article 23-2 (2) of the articles of association of the Korea Football Association, candidates for the president of the Korea Football Association are only allowed under the age of 70 as of the day of the election.
The scheduled election date is January 8 next year, and there is no problem running for office because it is five days before the 70th birthday of former chairman Huh, who was born on January 13, 1955.
Former chairman Huh announced his candidacy on the 21st and explained, “I decided to run for the 55th president of the Korea Football Association to correct the status of Korean soccer, which is shaking dangerously, and to help prepare for the future of Korean soccer.”
He said, “Former chairman Huh will hold a press conference to run for the election to feel the problems of Korean soccer as a soccer player and announce his ambition to carry out ‘transparent association management’ to innovate.”
Chung Mong-gyu, the current president of the Korea Football Association, has not received full support.
Not only soccer fans but also the Korea Football Association union are calling for the removal of the current leadership. He was also asked by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism to impose severe disciplinary measures beyond the suspension of his qualifications.
Despite negative public opinion, Chairman Chung, whose term ends next year, is expected to seek a fourth term.
Although he has not officially expressed his challenge like former chairman Huh, the prevailing opinion is that he will actually challenge the fourth term. 카지노사이트
