The Korea Football Association will begin its initial work to select the head coach of the women’s A national team and the head coach of the men’s U-23 national team.

The Korea Football Association’s National Power Reinforcement Committee will hold its first meeting at the Korea Football Center in Jongno-gu, Seoul at 1 p.m. on the 29th to prepare for the appointment of leaders of the women’s and men’s U-23 teams.

The Korea Football Association announced the formation of a new power reinforcement committee on the 27th.

Choi Young-il, vice chairman of the Korea Football Association, has been appointed as the new chairman of the power reinforcement committee.

Choi participated in the 1994 FIFA U.S. World Cup and the 1998 France World Cup when he was a player, and served as the head of the Korean national team at the 2018 Russia World Cup.

In addition, six members of the committee were appointed. “The committee consists of domestic and foreign soccer information experts, field leaders, and soccer administrators,” the Korea Football Association said. “The committee is comprised of people who are active in various positions.”

Han Joon-hee, vice chairman of the Korea Football Association, Hanyang University coach Chung Jae-kwon, K-League match supervisor Park Chul, former women’s U-20 national team coach Hwang In-sun, K-League 1 FC Seoul scout Baek Jong-seok, and Jeonbuk Football Association executive director Yoo Jong-hee will form a committee with Choi.

The power reinforcement committee will be active until January next year, the end of the current executive’s term.

The Power Enhancement Committee is also a familiar organization to domestic soccer fans.

This is why it was frequently discussed through various channels as well as media reports in the process of selecting Hong Myung-bo, the current head coach of the men’s A team.

Noise over the appointment of Hong and the process continues, but the Power Reinforcement Committee, which has put out the urgent fire by selecting the leader of the male A representative, will begin its next work.

Through the first meeting, the Power Reinforcement Committee will begin to select a coach for the women’s A-team, which has been vacant since the resignation of former coach Colin Bell.

Former coach Bell left the women’s national team, which he led for four years and eight months, ending his contract early under mutual agreement on June 20.

Former coach Bell, who took office in October 2019, signed a contract until the end of December this year through his second extension contract last year, but he decided not to extend his companion in the process of confirming his intention to extend the contract and broke up earlier than expected.

Therefore, it is expected to draw the groundwork for selecting a new leader for the women’s national team ahead of the friendly A-match in October.

In addition, the next head coach of the men’s U-23 national team will also be envisioned at the meeting.

The U-23 national team has been vacant since the 2024 Asian Football Confederation (AFC) U-23 Asian Cup in Qatar in April. Since Hwang Sun-hong, the current coach of the K League 1 Daejeon Hana Citizen, left the U-23 national team, a new coach has yet to be selected. 안전놀이터

The U-23 national team is set to host the 2026 U-23 Asian Cup, the Nagoya Asian Games, and the 2028 Los Angeles (LA) Olympics.

As it is a task of uniting young players, it seems that the plan of the Korea Electric Power Competition Committee is to quickly appoint a coach for the U-23 national team and prepare for major competitions by age step by step.
