Chung Mong-gyu, chairman of the Korea Football Association (KFA), who has won his fourth term in office, will unveil his blueprint for a new four-year term. Chung garnered 156 votes out of 182 valid votes in the 55th KFA presidential election held at the Seoul Football Center on Feb. 26. He received 85.7 percent of the support.
The confirmation process was completed in a month. The KFA disclosed on Monday that it received confirmation from the Korean Sports and Olympic Committee on Wednesday. Yoo Seung Min, chairman of the KFA, confirmed Chung after the inauguration ceremony. "Through thorough monitoring, the KFA will do its best to ensure that the KFA can become a future-oriented and healthy structure that all citizens can understand," he told the first board meeting.
Regarding the reason for the approval, the Korea Sports Association announced, "For the protection of athletes and leaders and the development of soccer sports, we were promised to implement the 'Three Innovations Plan' through organizational reform by the KFA, and notified the approval of Chairman Chung Mong-gyu on the 27th by comprehensively considering regulations and procedures, legal interpretation, self-purification will, and social public opinion."
It also eased the burden. A specific audit was conducted by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism last year, with the KFA's unique authority to appoint a coach for the national team distorted. Chairman Chung also failed to avoid the sword. The result was demands for severe disciplinary action. Despite the strong backlash, the court ruled in favor of the KFA, citing the request for provisional injunction. Although the outcome of the lawsuit remains, the KFA will be able to minimize the administrative vacuum.
Chung's new term will only begin in earnest. "In line with the new era in the sports world, KFA will also do its best to be reborn as a soccer association for the fans and the people through change and innovation," he said. "We will establish a new board of directors to normalize the operation of the association as soon as possible. Through the committee, we will quickly appoint coaches for male and female national teams, including the vacant U-23 national team, and thoroughly prepare for various international competitions," he said. "We will solve urgent problems, including the completion of the Korean Football Center, which is being built in Cheonan, and the grass issue at the stadium one by one," he added. "We will become the president of the Korea Football Association, which serves not only all soccer players but also fans and the people."
The KFA plans to announce the nomination of the head of the association through a general meeting of representatives on April 4. Currently, it is preparing to form a new executive branch.
The KFA recently came up with three major administrative innovations: 'transparency, degree, and responsibility'. Transparent administration' is intended to implement KFA's open governance and consists of five proposals: expanding electors, strengthening board expertise, strengthening management disclosures, establishing an external cooperation office, and introducing a spokesperson system.
'Property administration' is intended to implement administration that complies with laws and regulations. It includes re-examination of regulations and promoting integration with administrative procedures, establishing and implementing an implementation plan for improvement requirements of the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, and establishing a compliance office to strengthen internal audit capabilities. 먹튀검증
Responsible administration to strengthen KFA's administrative expertise as the control tower of Korean soccer includes reorganization such as strengthening the functions of subcommittees, expansion of the base, establishment of a team dedicated to amateur field, and establishment of a support group for the 2026 North-China World Cup. The subcommittee plans to establish a structure in which subcommittees in specialized fields such as technology, competitions and referees can make independent decisions. The appointment of a national team coach is also included in the structure.
