It has been confirmed that the election of the 55th president of the Korea Football Association, which has been postponed indefinitely, is considering various directions to continue the schedule again.
Initially, the election for the president of the Korea Football Association was scheduled to take place on the 8th.
Much attention was paid to whether current chairman Chung Mong-gyu, who was criticized by soccer fans and the public as well as soccer players, will be elected as a fourth term.
However, there was a variable in which the election itself could not be held.
Candidate Huh Jung-moo, who challenged not only Chairman Chung but also Shin Moon-sun in this election, applied to the court to ban the presidential election.
On the 7th, the Seoul Central District Court's Civil Affairs Department 50 (senior chief judge Lim Hae-jeong) cited an application for an injunction against the chairman's election, and the proceedings were canceled on the 8th.
Since then, the Korea Football Association's Election Management Committee has discussed the matters pointed out by the court and said it will proceed with the election on the 23rd, starting with the list of electors.
However, candidate Shin and candidate Heo refused to proceed with the election on that day, saying that the Korea Football Association's election management committee notified them of the election day.
Candidate Huh explained, "The decision should not be made in a way that the election date is set and notified in a hurry without fundamental resolution of the causes of the temporary disposition decision, and we have made it clear that we oppose the election day on the 23rd."
"The Korea Football Association is misleading the media and the public with false reports as if the election date on the 23rd was agreed on unilaterally. Once again, both Huh and Shin refused the association's unilateral notification of the election day on the 23rd," he said. "The court's attempt to cover up the strict judgment on unfair and illegal election management by simply adding a few electors means that it will cover the sky with its palm."
Candidate Shin also maintained his position that he would not take legal action.
Eventually, the Korea Football Association's election management committee said, "Founded accusations and protests have been raised several times during the election. In particular, despite efforts to collect opinions on candidates for the smooth progress of the election while respecting the purpose of the court's decision, only malicious slander continues."
"The committee deeply regrets this situation and decided to resign after deliberation, judging that it was impossible for the committee to fulfill its normal responsibilities," he added.
Since then, Shin and Huh have insisted on Chung's resignation, citing not only Chung, the head of the Korea Football Association, but also Chung's qualifications, which were called for "severe disciplinary action beyond suspension" by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism's audit.
However, an official from Chairman Chung said in Newsis on the 14th, "We don't need to check every single one of the other candidates' claims," adding, "We will hold the election without any change (such as resignation)."
As each candidate stuck to his or her argument, the 메이저놀이터 Korea Football Association set its sights on accepting the candidates' opinions.
It is reported that the National Election Commission is also considering entrusting elections to the National Election Commission, which candidates Huh and Shin claimed.
An official from the Korea Football Association said on the same day, "We have asked not only the Central Election Commission, but also whether it is possible to entrust the election at the local level (each district, etc.) under the Seoul Metropolitan Government."
"Apart from entrusting the election, the election management committee should be reorganized. Discussions are also underway on that," he said. "However, it is unlikely that a conclusion will be reached immediately (because it is not an easy matter)," he said, adding that it will take some time to finalize the schedule for the next election.
