All three candidates who run for the 55th presidential election of the Korea Football Association (KFA) are in favor of open debate. However, no practical progress has been made. All candidates come up with an answer that they will respond, but none of them come up with an offer first.

The 55th KFA presidential election, which will be held on the 8th, has been narrowed down to a three-way race between Chung Mong-kyu, Huh Jung-moo and Shin Moon-sun. Candidate Huh and Shin jumped into the fourth term of the current chairman, Chung, saying they would "open a new era."

Amid high public interest in the three candidates challenging the "football president" KFA president, candidate Shin first suggested in a press release last year, "Let's listen to each other's pledges through open discussions."

Then candidate Huh also accepted that he would actively welcome any topic, such as the Election Commission, KFA administration, and pledges.

After receiving questions on an open debate at a press conference announcing his candidacy, Chung said, "I will make a pledge first after registering candidates. After other candidates' pledges are announced, I am willing to participate in the debate as much as possible."

At the second press conference to announce the pledge, he said, "We will actively accept other candidates' proposals for discussion," adding, "However, the method and timing of the discussion should be discussed. The method and the subject of the discussion are also important," expressing his willingness to participate more actively.

In the end, all three candidates welcomed the open debate with open arms wide open. However, none of the candidates are actively pursuing the debate.

"I want to have a confident debate in front of the public and the fans," said Huh, who was the last of the three candidates to hold a press conference on Thursday. "I propose an open debate here once again," but he also did not mean that he would push ahead with the debate himself.

There seems to be some disagreement with each other regarding the will and subject of the push.

An official from the soccer community said, "Candidate Heo expressed his willingness to have an open discussion with the KFA even before registration. I heard that what the candidate is pursuing is a violation of the articles of incorporation. Then, the election management committee should have taken over the intention and pushed for it, but I have never heard from him without any proper answers."

On the other hand, a KFA official told "News 1" that "open discussions can be directly pursued by any of the candidates. Not only is there no articles of association that candidates should not pursue, but there is no regulation itself related to open discussions."

In the end, a public debate is likely to be possible only when there is a turning point in which one of the candidates abandons the passive attitude of "I will accept it anytime" and actively moves to "come here." 메이저사이트

When someone shouts, "Let's get a public evaluation through an open debate," I hear the echo, "I like it, too," but it breaks down in the air and ends. It seems that no one is disappointed since it has been lingering in the same place. There are only four days left until the election.
