Chung Mong-gyu, chairman of the Korea Football Association, announced his intention to seek a fourth term in office to the Korea Football Association on the 28th. The decision was made four days before the deadline of the 2nd of next month, when the incumbent chairman who is about to run for the chairman's election has to resign.

Chairman Chung's decision to seek a fourth term after much consideration was crucial to the persuasion of the heads of affiliated organizations and provincial associations.바카라사이트

Chairman Chung, who has been on the beleaguered list of government audits and is under pressure from not only his fans but also politicians to resign, agonized over whether to seek a fourth term until the end.

In the middle of this month, rumors circulated in the soccer world that Chairman Chung had decided to give up his fourth term.

A senior soccer player, who is highly trusted among the players, also formed a "camp," saying that he would challenge the chairman's position if Chairman Chung did not run.

Chairman Chung attended an executive meeting of the Korea Football Association on the 26th and confessed, "I change my mind several times a day, in the morning, evening, and every day."

According to the soccer community, Chairman Chung's mind, which had been torn apart, was solidified toward "running out" after two meals he had with soccer players.

Chung had a luncheon with heads of affiliated organizations, including the Korea Women's Football Federation and the Korea Futsal Federation, on Monday, and had a dinner with heads of provincial and provincial associations after an executive meeting on Monday. Participants say that both meals seemed to encourage Chung to run.

While former national team coach Huh Jung-moo announced his candidacy ahead of Chairman Chung, many of the heads of affiliated organizations and provincial associations complained of anxiety that Korean soccer could face financial difficulties if Huh, who is not a businessman, becomes the chairman.

The biggest source of anxiety was the Cheonan Football Center issue. As construction materials and labor costs have increased significantly, the cost for building the Cheonan Center has reportedly increased by about 30 billion won from the original estimate. The heads of provincial and provincial associations, which received considerable money from the Korea Football Association, including operating expenses for regional leagues and various events, were more anxious.

There were also voices that Chung should continue to lead the Korea Football Association in order for the division system construction project to break through barriers between professional leagues such as K League 1 and K League 2 (division 2) and semi-professional K3 and K4 leagues, and amateur K5·K6·K7 leagues to be implemented properly. There are many voices of discontent in the field due to the wide gap between the leagues and the different management methods.

Both the Cheonan Center and the division system are projects started by Chairman Chung. Chairman Chung should take responsibility and solve the problem.

In addition, some say that if Chung does not run, losing his diplomatic assets accumulated at the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) will be a big loss to Korean soccer.

Former coach Huh's candidacy itself is also believed to have had a "positive" effect on Chung's bid for a fourth term.

"When Huh ran for the presidency, he will have a primary election," said Han. If Chung is elected through a democratic election, it will be meaningful for him to have "re-confidence" from soccer players. "I felt his will to recover his fame through the fourth term."

Chung has been involved in the soccer community for 30 years, starting with Hyundai (currently HD) owner of Ulsan Hyundai in 1994. When he was elected president of the Korea Football Association for the first time in 2013, four candidates including him competed. When he was elected second and third term, he ran alone without any competitors.

Chairman Chung plans to submit a second-term review to the Korea Sports Council's Sports Fair Committee on the 2nd of next month and a resignation letter to the Korea Football Association.

If the Fair Trade Commission's review is passed, it will reveal its aspirations for the past term and its bid for a fourth term around December 25-27, the registration period for presidential candidates.
