Former chairman Oh Kyu-sang, who led the federation for 17 years, died of worsening chronic illness at the end of last year, shortly after the confirmation of his 9th term as the 9th chairman, and the re-election was held on the 49th day of the deceased. Kwon Jong-chul (61), former president of FIFA Sports, Yang Myung-seok (57), former president of the Daegu Football Association, and Jung Hae-sung (66), former chairman of the Korea Football Association's power reinforcement committee, were nominated. The electors consisted of a total of 80 people, including athletes, leaders, and referees. The first round of voting took place from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. If a majority of the valid votes were won, they were elected, and if there was no majority of the votes, the second and final votes were followed.
In the re-election of the 9th president of the Korea Women's Football Association held at the Coreana Hotel in Jung-gu, Seoul on the 6th, Kwon Jong-chul, head of FIFA Sports, and Yang Myung-seok, former president of the Daegu Football Association, ranked 1-2th by seven votes in the first round of voting, and the re-election was decided. Out of the total 80 voters, 73 valid votes were cast, of which candidate Yang Myung-seok received 34 votes, candidate Kwon Jong-chul received 27 votes, and candidate Jeong Hae-sung received 12 votes. If you received 37 votes, which is the majority of 73 votes, you don't have to hold a final vote. The two candidates entered the final round due to a lack of three votes. The final round will be held at four to five o'clock for an hour.
