The election management committee of the Korea Football Association announced that it will hold a vote on the chairman on Sunday, which has been postponed due to the court's decision to cite the provisional injunction. Candidate Huh Jung-moo and candidate Shin Moon-sun protested the decision, calling it a one-sided decision.

"The 55th election for the president of the Korea Football Association will be held on the 23rd, and the re-drawing of the electors will be held on the 12th," the steering committee said on the 9th. The election was originally scheduled to take place on the 8th. However, candidate Heo filed an application for a provisional injunction with the court, claiming that the election for the president of the Korea Football Association lacked fairness and 150 minutes of time for voting. The Seoul Central District Court cited candidate Heo's application for provisional injunction on the 7th, a day before the vote, and the election for the president of the Korea Football Association is on the verge of being delayed without promise.
Regarding the vote on Sunday, the steering committee stressed that it selected outside specialized companies to increase transparency in the elector lottery process and took measures to allow each candidate's representative to examine the process. It also explained that Heo will turn 70 on the 13th but can maintain his qualifications as a candidate. The association's articles of association state that candidates for presidential election must be under 70 on election day. 먹튀검증

However, Huh and Shin protested, saying, "We only agreed to the '23rd election' at the steering committee meeting, saying, 'Let's entrust this vote to the Central Election Commission.' A source from Shin's side said, "The same method should be introduced as the Korea Judo Association held the presidential election using the online voting system of the Central Election Commission."
