Chung Mong-gyu, president of the Korea Football Association (HDC Group), succeeded in serving four consecutive terms with overwhelming support.
In the first round of voting for the 55th president of the Korea Football Association on the 26th, Chairman Chung was elected with 156 votes and 85% of the 182 valid votes. For now, he is the president-elect. The head of the sports organization under the Korea Sports Association will officially take office as chairman with the approval of the Korea Sports Association. How will the confirmation process proceed in the future.
The approval process for Chairman-elect Chung Mong-gyu will be reviewed by the Ministry of Sports and Sports, and will be approved by Yoo Seung Min, the new chairman of the Korea Sports and Olympic Committee. Usually, the approval process begins in earnest when the winning documents are received after the election of each association and the five-day objection application period after the announcement of the election. On the 28th, the 42nd Chairman of the Korea Sports Council in Yoo Seung Min will begin his first term without the tag of 'elect' through the first general meeting of delegates. The approval is expected to proceed in early March, after the start of Yoo Seung Min's term as chairman.
The Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism is in a legal battle with Chairman Chung, and although there is a mental burden, the confirmation is expected to proceed according to the normal procedure. Chairman Chung has already been approved to run for a fourth consecutive term through the Korea Sports Council's Sports Fair Committee, and there is no reason for the disqualification of the executive. Above all, the majority opinion is that there is no reason to fail to comply as it is an elected position with overwhelming support from 85% of footballers. It is also a big burden for the Korean Sports Council, which has advocated an athlete-centered administration, to not confirm the elected president due to the pressure of 'public opinion trial' or 'political pressure'. Chairman Yoo also answered questions related to this shortly after his election last month, "I will continue to follow the principle and the regulations."have maintained their conviction that "
In particular, the effect of the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism's request for heavy disciplinary action has been suspended as the court decided to cite the request for suspension of execution of the specific audit results and measures issued by the Korea Football Association against the Minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism on the 11th. There is no legal or representative justification to refuse approval. The Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism announced the results of the Korea Football Association's audit in November last year and demanded the association's Sports Fair Committee to impose severe disciplinary measures above the suspension of qualifications and recover 5.7 billion won in subsidies used to build a stadium in Cheonan Football Center. The Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism immediately appealed immediately after the court's decision to cite it, and the results are expected two weeks later.
The Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism is closely monitoring the results of the appeal, which is scheduled to be released around the second week of March. The Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism stated that `We must wait for the results of the appeal after two weeks.' If an appeal is cited, the association's Sports Fair Committee will determine the level of disciplinary action against the chairman and executive. If the appeal is dismissed, it must wait until the results of the original lawsuit are released. In this case, since the 'execution suspension' state in which the effect of severe disciplinary action has been suspended is valid, the chairman's position is carried out normally.
