Chung Mong-kyu, chairman of the Korea Football Association (KFA), who succeeded in his fourth term, is continuing his wide-ranging move.
Chairman Chung visited the Korea Football Center, which is under construction in Cheonan, South Chungcheong Province, on the 2nd, and inspected the progress with Cheonan Mayor Park Sang-don and checked the current situation. It is the first official schedule since the election of the 55th KFA.
Lee Jae-kwan, a member of the Cheonan City National Assembly, Park Sung-wan, president of the Chungcheongnam-do Football Association, Lee Ki-ho, president of the Cheonan City Football Association, and Kim Jung-bae, vice chairman of the Korea Football Association, also attended the briefing session on the center's construction site.
The Korea Football Center is a project in which KFA and Cheonan City jointly create a 478,000-square-meter soccer and sports facility in 120 Gasan-ri, Ipjang-myeon, Cheonan-si. It consists of a total of 11 soccer fields, stadiums, indoor soccer fields, and lodging buildings, as well as various facilities such as the Football History Museum, gymnasium, and daily sports facilities. It is expected to be a new landmark that will represent Korean soccer by spreading various soccer values as well as player development, leader and referee education.
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. On the other hand, candidates Huh Jung-moo and Shin Moon-sun received only 15 and 11 votes, respectively.

The Korea Football Center also contributed to the overwhelming support. The soccer center is the biggest issue in the world of soccer. An atmosphere has been formed that it must be Chairman Chung.
Chairman Chung said, `We need all of our attention and efforts because the Korea Football Center is a place to lay the future of Korean soccer. We will take care of it carefully so that many people can enjoy the value of soccer."
Lee Jae-kwan said, `We expect these facilities to be meaningful spaces for both Korean soccer, Cheonan citizens and the people.' Mayor Park Sang-don of Cheonan City will be a complex cultural space centered on soccer. Cheonan City will also do its best to ensure that the remaining projects can proceed smoothly," he said.
After touring the construction site for an hour and a half, Chairman Chung moved to Cheonan Stadium with officials to watch the K League 2 match between Cheonan City FC and Bucheon FC.
