Korea Football Association President Chung Mong-gyu to resign after 2026 FIFA World Cup amid criticism over coaching hires and governance

South Korea's sports ministry has renewed its call for the Korea Football Association to discipline president Chung Mong-gyu and other senior officials following a court ruling that sided with the ministry. The Seoul Administrative Court ruled the ministry's demand for disciplinary action was justified, invalidating a court injunction that had protected Chung. The KFA must now act within one month to discipline Chung and address administrative wrongdoings within two months.
