After watching the fall of Korean soccer, he is running as a solo candidate in the AFC executive committee election and is likely to win. Conclusion of today's general meeting in Bangkok

Chung Mong-gyu, the president of the Korea Football Association, who had not been seen for a while, has begun to move for a fourth term. Considering that he did not respond to the outpouring of public opinion about his resignation, this is a glimpse into Chairman Chung's sincerity.

The Asian Football Confederation (AFC) will hold the '34th General Assembly' in Bangkok, Thailand on the 16th and elect the AFC executive committee.

In this election, two vacant Central Asian female executive committee members and East Asian male executive committee members were selected, and Migona Mahmadirieva (Tajikistan) and Chairman Chung each ran as sole candidates. 토토사이트 순위

The Executive Committee is the AFC's highest decision-making body.

It consists of a total of 30 members, including 1 AFC president and 5 vice presidents, 6 members of the FIFA Council (one woman also serves as an executive committee member), and 18 executive committee members.

Chairman Chung ran for and lost in the FIFA Council member election held at the 33rd AFC General Assembly in February last year, and then qualified as an AFC quasi-executive member ex officio in June last year.

Then, he officially ran for office this time, and since he is running as a sole candidate, he is likely to win. Chairman Chung, who left for Bangkok where the general meeting was held on the 14th, is known to have attended the meeting on the 15th as a quasi-executive member. If Chairman Chung is elected, he will have positive implications in terms of Korean soccer's return to the international soccer diplomatic stage. However, there are voices of concern that he, who has been pointed out as the fundamental cause of the recent decline in Korean soccer, is trying to continue to exert influence in the soccer world. The Korean national soccer team reached the semifinals of the 2023 AFC Asian Cup held in Qatar earlier this year, but suffered a huge 슬롯사이트disappointment after losing 0-2 to Jordan. In addition, public opinion worsened as former coach Jürgen Klinsmann was criticized for his insincere attitude, including frequent outings throughout his tenure, and was later dismissed and it became known that physical clashes occurred between national team players during the Asian Cup. In addition, the U-23 national team led by coach Hwang Sun-hong was eliminated in the final qualifying round for the 2024 Paris Olympics and failed to advance to the Olympic finals for the 10th consecutive time. In this process, as Klinsmann's replacement could not be found, Korean soccer's asset, Hwang Seon-hong, who temporarily took charge of the A team and played two jobs, was lost.

Moreover, the national team's head coach, who they had promised would be appointed within this month, has not yet been found. Former Leeds United manager Jesse Marsh, who was mentioned as the first choice, took command of the Canadian national team. With less than a month left until the second round of the 2026 North, Central America World Cup Asian region scheduled for next month, the situation is heading towards the worst where a temporary head coach has to be appointed again. Despite the repeated decline of Korean soccer, Chairman Chung bowed his head once when announcing the dismissal of former coach Klinsmann and then disappeared again. Even though public opinion boiled over his resignation, he did not budge. Then, as the recent AFC executive committee election approached, things began to move again. The prevailing view is that Chairman Chung's election is a preparation for a fourth term as president of the association. His third term runs until January next year. Starting from the third consecutive term, the head of a sports organization must pass the review of the Korea Sports Council's Sports Fair Committee to be eligible for a challenge. If the head of a sports organization becomes an executive of an international organization, the likelihood of passing the review increases. Chairman Chung, who was asked about his bid for a fourth term when the dismissal of former director Klinsmann was announced last February, said, “At the 2018 general meeting, I tried to change the articles of association to limit the term of office to three terms. At the time, he gave an ambiguous answer, saying, “The Korea Sports Council and the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism did not approve it, so I will respond with that instead.” Korean soccer is going through a dark tunnel. However, the voices of criticism are likely to grow louder over Chairman Chung's actions, which seem to only focus on his position while leaving important matters behind. 안전 토토사이트
