Lee Yong-soo, who is serving as acting president of the Korea Football Association, said the organization is preparing to hold its next presidential election on December 18, according to YTN. The report was published on Wednesday.
YTN's headline quotes Lee directly on the date, describing the December 18 vote as the target the association is working toward. The report does not specify further details of the election process.
The announcement places a date on the leadership contest at the association, which Lee is currently running in an acting capacity. YTN's reporting does not indicate what prompted the scheduling or how the date was chosen.
What to watch next is whether the association confirms December 18 as the official election date and how the candidate field takes shape ahead of the vote.
