Chung Mong-gyu, chairman of the Korea Football Association, will lead the East Asian Football Federation (EAFF) until March next year.

EAFF held an executive committee in Tokyo, Japan, on the 30th of last month and announced that it would appoint Chairman Chung Mong-gyu as interim chairman to the vacancy of EAFF Chairman Kozo Tajima, who expressed his resignation.

EAFF is scheduled for an extraordinary general meeting in Seoul in July. Chairman Chung Mong-gyu is expected to take over as interim chairman first, and then officially take over his term until March next year after being approved at the general meeting in July.




An official from the Korea Football Association said "EAFF holds the EAFF Championship every two years, and the host country of the tournament will take the chairmanship." The competition will be held in Korea in July this year and will accelerate preparations for the competition."
