Südkorea

The Korea Football Association (대한축구협회) is the governing body of football in South Korea.

In 1933, The Korea Football Association was organized (following the foundation of Joseon Referees’ Association in 1928), which created a foundation to disseminate and develop the sport. Park Seung-bin was the very first President of the KFA, charged with the task of promoting and spreading organised football in Korea.

The Korea Football Association was reinstated in 1948, following the establishment of the Republic of Korea. The KFA became a member of FIFA, the international football governing body that same year. It later joined the AFC (Asian Football Confederation) in 1954.

On 23 January 2013, KFA elected Chung Mong-gyu as the new chairman.
