Any further gaps are difficult.

The election for the 55th president of the Korea Football Association was originally scheduled to take place on April 8. It has been delayed for nearly a month. As the court accepted the request for provisional injunction to ban elections, the election did not proceed. The KFA tried to resume the election without any change after the court cited it, but failed to do so due to strong opposition from the two candidates, Heo Jung-moo and Shin Moon-seon. Finally, the KFA decided to form a new election management committee, fill in insufficient electors, and hold an election on April 26.

All three candidates seem to agree on the confirmation of the election date. "We expect the new Election Commission to successfully conduct fair elections that meet the public's expectations by supplementing procedural defects raised in court," candidate Chung Mong-kyu said. Candidate Huh and Shin have expressed their differences over the composition of the electors, but they have not raised any issues with the process itself. It seems that the National Election Commission has been completely reorganized to join figures from the Central Election Commission and the media, and they have certainly escaped from the limbo.

The soccer community is hoping that the new chairman will be decided on the election day that the election management committee has decided. Two months have passed since the election campaign began. This means that he is getting tired. As Chung was suspended from office in December last year when he ran for the fourth term, the KFA is spending a long time without the head of the KFA. With so many tasks to proceed and decide on, a prolonged vacancy will inevitably disrupt administrative work. For the organization of the KFA, a chairman should also be appointed.

The third Asian qualifying round for the 2026 World Cup in North Korea and the U.S. will begin in March. Korea should elect a president in February to prepare for an A-match. Moreover, the gap between the current age-group of the national team and the head coach is getting longer. As there is no vacancy for the head coach of the under-22 national team, a full-time leader should lead the team temporarily at the international friendly competition to be held in China in March. It is a pity considering the weight of the team. To do this, the president of the Korea Football Association should be confirmed first. 카지노

The three candidates also need to compete through policies and election pledges during the remaining campaign period. As the election has been postponed twice, voters are expected to exercise one vote more cautiously than ever.
