The election of the president of the Korea Football Association is a big mess because the Korea Football Association brought about itself.

The association said it had no problem with fairness, but it is experiencing an unprecedented crippling process, in which elections are suspended once by the courts and then canceled again due to opposition from candidates.

Reporter Lee Dae-gun's report.

Originally, the election for the president of the Korea Football Association was on the 8th.

But it's stopped by the court the day before the election.

I have made it clear that there is a possibility of dispute because it is not transparent and not fair.

The Korea Football Association, which expressed regret over the decision, announces again that it will hold an election on the 23rd.

It's only been two days since it was suspended by the court.After the announcement of

, all candidates, except for Chung Mong-gyu, strongly opposed.

In other words, the association pushed ahead unilaterally even though fairness has not yet been secured.

He warned that he would take legal action again if he did not entrust the presidential election to the National Election Commission, not the soccer association controlled by candidate Chung Mong-kyu.

In the end, the KFA said all the election commissioners would resign and cancel their existing schedules.

As Chung Mong-gyu also agreed, it is now likely that the election will be left to the National Election Commission.

If it had been like this from the beginning, there would have been no chaos, but the Football Association, which pushed for the election excessively with the existing framework, is bound to be responsible.
