Yang Myung-seok, chairman of the 9th Women's Football Federation, held an inauguration ceremony at the Olympic Parktel in Songpa-gu, Seoul at 5 p.m. on the 2nd and declared a new vision.
At the inauguration ceremony, K-League coaches, including Yoo Seung Min, president of the Korea Sports Council, Ha Hyung-ju, president of the Korea Sports Promotion Foundation, Chung Mong-kyu, president of the Korea Football Association, Moon Won-jae, president of Korea Badminton Association, Yoo Yeon-seong, president of the Korea Federation of University Football, Park Han-dong, president of the Korea Football Association, Kim Dae-gil, players and Seoul E-Land coach Kim Do-kyun, former Jeonnam Dragons coach, and former Ansan Greeners coach Lim Kwan-sik gathered to cheer for the new era of women's soccer.
Chairman Yang Myung-seok said in his inaugural address that `World soccer is changing at a rapid pace. The popularity of women's soccer is rising surprisingly fast"It was women's soccer that seemed to be lacking in performance with world-class teams, but it is hard to find a strong player anymore. This is because he is unchanging, complacent, and not prepared for the future." "We want to rebuild our women's soccer from the foundation." We will continue to implement mid- to long-term development plans for the true future of women's soccer by reflecting the voices of the field as much as possible." "I will listen to the voices of the field, covering not only grassroots women's soccer, but also elementary, middle and high school, and the WK League, which needs to grow into a professional player." We will also seek ways to absorb women's soccer clubs into the system, he said, vowing to continue consulting with local governments to ensure that the players play and train in a better environment with insufficient training environment and infrastructure. "We will communicate and cooperate with all those who care about women's soccer with new women's soccer and constant enthusiasm."
Chairman Lee Yoo Seung Min, who has a special affection for women's soccer, said, `Chairman Yang Myung-seok has been supporting women's soccer out of sight. After 10 years of supporting the U-girl players, he brought attention firmly and passionately, and "He became the one to become." "As you said, there are a lot of homework ahead of women's soccer. "I have a lot of homework to do, including grassroots, elementary, middle and high schools, and improvement of the treatment of players, but you will do well enough." "Former Chairman Oh Kyu-sang left a lot of legacy behind. You will continue that part and make it the center of the world's women's soccer federation,' he added. Chairman Yoo, who appointed 30% of the executive level as women in the first personnel appointment of the Korean Sports Council president and the first female secretary-general in the 105-year history, said, `Now the world is centered on women, and sports are centered on women. I will also cheer hard for the Korean Sports Council to make the women's soccer federation become the center of sports."
Chung Mong-gyu, president of the Korea Football Association, then went on stage and congratulated Yang Myung-seok on his inauguration as the new chairman in an encouraging speech. As soon as he took office, he held a meeting with several university and professional league coaches. In the future, I will also hold meetings with the national team coach and the WK League leaders,' he said, pledging to make a master plan within this year and implement it from next year on what to do to expand the base with the leaders of elementary, middle and high schools. "The Korea Football Association will do its best to develop women's soccer."
Ha Hyung-joo, chairman of the Korea Sports Promotion Foundation, said "The Korea Sports Promotion Foundation is responsible for 98% of the finances of Korean sports with the noble spirit of the Seoul Olympics and the finances through surpluses. Our corporation also has a women's soccer team. I will spare no support"I promised. Chairman Oh Kyu-sang has seen his trust and support for women's soccer from the side. I'm sure Chairman Yang Myung-seok will continue well. I wish all the soccer players good health."
