The 55th Korea Football Association (KFA) presidential election, which was canceled twice, will be held at the Korea Football Center in Sinmun-ro, Seoul on the 26th.

Current Chairman Chung Mong-gyu, who is trying to run for the fourth term, is working on the soccer scene with the slogan "1", the visiting professor of sports record analysis at the Shinmun-seon Myeongji University School of Records and Information Science "2", and Huh Jung-moo, former chairman of Daejeon Hana Citizen, is wearing the symbol "3". The three candidates will wrap up their campaign schedule on the 25th.

There are 192 electors. Chung Mong-gyu made his position on the last day of his official campaign. Since the 16th, when the campaign began, he has been searching for electors scattered across the country. During his first campaign, Chung traveled around the country to meet some 170 electors.




Candidate Chung met with coaches and referees in Seoul on the 24th, followed by a flight to Jeju to meet soccer players. He traveled around Gangwon until the previous day, but he boarded the plane with the will to meet all the electors. Candidate Chung, who visited Jeju SK after meeting with Jeju Football Association officials, leaders and referees, finished his day's schedule only after meeting with a local soccer player in Incheon while coming to Seoul.

Candidate Chung said, `I could feel more affection and pride in soccer by talking to people who live and play soccer together or who are dedicated in difficult environments"The more I meet soccer players, the harder I should work." It occurred to me. If elected, I will visit more soccer fields and increase direct communication so that I and the association feel closer" he said.

(Seoul = Yonhap News) Reporter Seo Dae-yeon = Election-related information banners are placed at the soccer hall in Jongno-gu, Seoul on the 25th, a day before the 55th Korea Football Association presidential election.

In this election, three people, Chung Mong-kyu, the current chairman, who is trying to serve four consecutive terms, Huh Jung-moo, the former national team coach, and a visiting professor of sports record analysis at the Shinmun Myungji University Graduate School of Records and Information Science, will run.
For communication, candidate Chung also sent a video clip of 'personalized' containing messages he wrote to each of the electors shortly after the campaign period began. Many of the electors who received this are responding with messages of support.

On the same day, Chung plans to send a customized video clip containing detailed pledges to 192 electors. In addition, from the 16th of last month, when the election was suspended, official Instagram activities have begun, introducing visits to soccer players, and spreading election and soccer-related messages through SNS.

Chung plans to wrap up his official campaign schedule by meeting judges from Seoul and Gyeonggi Province and elementary school leaders. During this campaign alone, candidate Chung Mong-gyu reportedly communicated directly with 90% of the electors by traveling more than 15,000 kilometers to meet the electors, except for using public transportation such as airplanes and trains, and calling and talking to soccer players who are not on schedule.

Candidate Chung has promised to restore the trust of the association through intensive reform and communication, enhance the international status and competitiveness of Korean soccer, complete the division promotion system, and complete and independent the Korea Football Center.




Huh Jung-moo, who has opened up on Chung, also revealed his final remarks, saying, `I will step down after faithfully playing the role of `Jing-gum-dari.' He said, `As the football association was privatized and operated unfairly, this election also went through the unprecedented situation of citing the provisional injunction against the election and the resulting suspension of the election.' `If elected president, we will first create a structure in which the imperial presidency cannot exist in the football association," he stressed.

In line with the role of the chairman who sacrifices and serves, we will take the lead in communicating with soccer players and fans, looking for sponsoring companies, and working hard to bring about cooperation between the government and local governments. Since I am not the chairman of a particular conglomerate, I will demonstrate with my feet that I can work with more companies to attract sponsorship," he added.
