The election for the 55th president of the Korea Football Association is just two days away. The daily analyzes the achievements and pledges of three candidates, Chung Mong-gyu, Shin Moon-sun, and Heo Jung-moo, before the election for the head of the Korea Football Association on Jan. 8. <Editor's note>
[E-Daily Starin, Reporter Heo Yoon-soo] Shin Moon-sun played for the Korea Football Association for three seasons in 1983. After finishing his career early, he became a broadcast commentator since 1986, making his name known. In particular, he got the national buzzword "It's a goal."
He has worked as a professor at Myongji University since 2007 and was an administrator as CEO of Seongnam FC in 2014. After retiring as an athlete, he also worked for a sportswear brand and gained experience in various fields.
Shin said he would create a "money-making football association" based on his diverse track record compared to other contenders. "The most important thing on the way to globalization is to secure a budget," Shin said. "Football can never develop unless it is free from financial problems."
Candidate Shin, who expressed concern about the reality that the Korea Football Association is currently facing a confrontation even though it receives subsidies from the government, said, "If the Korea Football Association pays the sanction surcharge, its industrial and commercial value will inevitably fall." He benchmarked overseas cases such as the Japanese Football Association to establish a sponsor strategy and announced plans for new business plans to increase profits.
Shin also expressed his plan to change the Korea Football Association from the current Korea Football Association to the Korea Football Federation (KFF). The plan calls for integrating the Korea Professional Football Federation, the University Football Federation, the Women's Football Federation, and the Futsal Federation by adding the elementary, middle, and high school federation and the referee federation.
Through this, he claimed that integrated sales and contracts for advertisements, sponsors, sponsors, and broadcasting rights are possible. Recalling the days of Seongnam's CEO, who transformed into a civic team, candidate Shin stressed, "It led to normalization even when the team's budget was reduced and showed that sales can be increased through advertising sales."
Nevertheless, whether or not to unify with Huh Jung-moo, who has a consensus on Chung's opposition to a second term in reality, is also expected to be an important key. Earlier, candidate Shin said, "I will think about whether the philosophy and vision are in line with each other," but added, "Even if there are some differences, I will think about it with an open mind if it is a situation that can lead the chaebol owner to step down as chairman." 메이저사이트
