Senior Korean soccer players gathered and voiced their opinions that the election of the next president of the Korea Football Association should be held quickly and fairly.
A group of soccer players aged 75 or older released a statement in front of the Korea Football Association on the morning of the 22nd. The move is aimed at expressing concern over the next presidential election of the Korea Football Association, which is a three-way race between Chung Mong-kyu, Shin Moon-sun and Huh Jung-moo.
The election for the 55th president of the Korea Football Association was originally scheduled to take place on Jan. 8. However, the court made an "all stop" as the court cited Huh Jung-moo's request for a provisional injunction to ban elections. In protest of unfair and opaque election management, Huh filed a petition for a provisional injunction to ban elections for the president of the Korea Football Association. Since then, all the members of the election management committee have resigned, and the re-announced election day (January 23) has been canceled, causing continuous noise.

He added, "The association should have a sense of mission and ensure that the presidential election can be held quickly and fairly, and I hope that candidates will abandon their self-interest and participate in the election with the attitude and mindset of committing only to Korean soccer."

Korean soccer has heavier and more important tasks than ever, such as the 2026 FIFA North Korea-China World Cup Asian qualifying round and the establishment of the Cheonan Football Sunter, which is why not only our soccer elders but also the whole nation are not paying attention to this election.
In response, our soccer elders, who have lived with soccer all their lives, will express the following positions regarding the election of the 55th president of the Korea Football Association, which has been in limbo and chaos.
1. The Korea Football Association should take full measures to ensure that the election can be held quickly and fairly by exercising all its capabilities with a sense of duty as the headquarters of Korean soccer.
2. This incident has been caused by overheated competition among candidates and mutual distrust. Candidates are strongly urged to abandon their self-interest and enter the election with a mindset and attitude to dedicate themselves only to Korean soccer.
3. Korean soccer has continued to develop through the endless love of soccer and the hard work of soccer players despite various difficult conditions. Our soccer elders hope that today's crisis will serve as an opportunity for a new leap forward. 토토사이트
