Business magnate Chung Mong-gyu, who will lead South Korea's Olympic delegation to Brazil, won unanimous approval Thursday to retain his title as head of the country's football governing body.

The Korea Football Association (KFA) said Chung, 54, was elected to a second four-year term as KFA chief in a vote by 98 delegates that included football players, coaches and judges for the first time. He was the sole candidate.

The CEO of Hyundai Development Co. served his first KFA term from January 2013 to June 2016. He is the cousin of former FIFA Vice President Chung Mong-joon.
