Korean Chung Pulls Withdraws From FIFA Race

South Korea’s Chung Mong-Joon on Monday pulled out of the race for FIFA presidency due to a ban from the sport. “Because of the ethics committee’s unjust sanctions, I will have to miss the October 26 deadline to file my candidacy,” Reuters quoted Chung as saying in a statement. “It is now time to officially withdraw my candidacy for the next FIFA president.”
