Yoo Seung Min, president of the Korea Sports Council, responded to the question of the approval of Chung Mong-kyu, president of the Korea Football Association, at the first board meeting of the Korea Sports Council on the 27th.
Chairman Yoo said, `The confirmation of the president of the Korea Football Association will probably come to a conclusion soon,' adding, `I thought a lot about it and heard various voices from all walks of life. We have received all the plans and materials related to the legal review and the Korea Football Association's self-sustaining efforts." As Chairman Yoo said at a plenary session of the National Assembly's stylistic committee earlier this month, according to regulations and principles, there is no reason for disqualification from the approval of the president of the Korea Football Association. It is also against the autonomy and independence of sports organizations to not confirm the elected president for nearly a month without justifiable reasons, even with the overwhelming support of 85 percent. On top of that, the delay in the formation of new executives, executives, and board members has also caused significant problems in project approval and budget execution, making it difficult to form coaching staff for national teams by age, including youth soccer, school sports sites, and U-22 national teams, and preparing for qualifying matches for the North-China World Cup, and there is considerable pressure to prolong the uncertainty of leadership.
Chairman Yoo said, `Even if we approve it, we will do our best to ensure that the Korea Football Association and the Korean Sports and Olympic Committee will make a future-oriented and healthy structure that all citizens can understand through thorough monitoring."
The Korea Sports and Olympic Committee is expected to draw a conclusion regarding the approval soon after comprehensively considering ▶ regulations and procedures ▶ meeting legal requirements ▶ securing stability in the operation of the soccer community ▶ the willingness of the soccer association to innovate ▶ the public's eye level.
