The election for the 55th president of the Korea Football Association is just a day away. The daily analyzes the achievements and pledges of three candidates, Chung Mong-gyu, Shin Moon-seon, and Heo Jung-moo, ahead of the Jan. 8 election to select the head of the Korean soccer team. <Editor's note>

[E-Daily Starin reporter Heo Yoon-soo] Huh Jung-moo played for PSV Eindhoven (the Netherlands) when he was a player and experienced European soccer. He also played in FIFA World Cup games as a member of the national team. After retirement, he turned into a leader and led both the professional and national teams.

In particular, Korea made it to the round of 16 best teams in the 2010 World Cup in South Africa for the first time. After turning into an administrator, Heo served as vice chairman of the Korea Football Association (2013-2014), vice president of the Korea Professional Football Association (2015-2019), and chairman of the Daejeon Hana Citizen (2020-2023).
Candidate Heo, who was the first to officially announce his candidacy for the presidential election of the Korea Football Association on November 25 last year, said, "I will start a pleasant challenge to reform the Korea Football Association and create a new 100 years of Korean soccer."

He criticized the current system, saying, "The Korea Football Association's dogmatic and self-righteous operating system has resulted in a terrible system collapse." Candidate Heo said, "Everyone wants the Korea Football Association to turn around, but they are not willing to come forward," adding, "I decided not to be a bystander because I felt obligated to stop this fall."

Candidate Heo pledged 'transparent', 'fair', 'cultivation', 'balance' and 'companion' as his keywords. In detail, △ 'transparent' management to foster systematic leaders and prepare a senior management system △ 'fair' management to return the authority to appoint vice-chairman and directors delegated to the general meeting △ mid- to long-term programs to 'cultivation' of dream trees △ Guarantee of autonomy of regional associations and expand budget for the development of 'balance' △ Cooperation' through communication with soccer fans including MZ generation and female fans was promised.
Candidate Heo pointed out that he knows the field well as his strengths compared to other candidates. "From the youth team to the professional team, I know the reality of Korean soccer," he said. "This is why I dare to challenge myself as a soccer player." 토토사이트

Citing his experience as an example, he stressed that he can lead Korean soccer even though he is not the head of a conglomerate. "In 2001, he built the Yongin Football Center with 31 billion won (31 million U.S. dollars) in local government budget, without providing any state subsidies," he said. "KBO President Hu Jie-yeon, who has recently made good results, is not the head of a company. I am equally confident that I can do it."
