It was the smile of Chung Mong-gyu, chairman of the Korea Football Association. There was nothing unusual about it. Chairman Chung succeeded in his fourth term.
It ended in the first round of voting. Chairman Chung won 156 votes out of 182 valid votes in the 55th KFA presidential election held at the Shinmun-ro Football Center in Seoul on the 26th. The vote was 85.7 percent. Candidate Huh Jung-moo received 15 votes, while candidate Shin Moon-seon received only 11 votes. Chairman Chung's term began with the election.
Of the 192 electors, 183 participated in the vote, and one vote was invalid. In the KFA presidential election, candidates who win a majority of valid votes are elected in the first round.
Chairman Chung was elected as the head of the KFA in 2013. There was no rival horse in 2016 and 2021. He ran for re-election and ran alone in the third term without a vote. He was reappointed in the first elections in 12 years.
Chairman Chung, who won, received an election certificate from Park Young-soo, chairman of the election management committee, and immediately began his term. In a subsequent greeting, Chairman Chung said "This winter, the last cold was exceptionally long. I hope the weather will warm up and spring will come for soccer. All soccer players participated highly. He has a greater responsibility because he has provided a lot of support for each regional field evenly. In the future, I will keep the promises I have made so far. Thank you for the candidates Shin Moon-sun and Heo Jung-moo who ran the race together. I will listen to advice and do better. I'm late, but I promise to do better one by one, and I'll do better," he said.
