Welcome Message from the President

I am very pleased to see that the East Asian Football Championship 2005 Preliminary Competition takes place in this beautiful island of Chinese Taipei.

I would like to extend my warmest welcome to all the players and officials of the five participating teams. I hope that during the second East Asian Football Championship Preliminary Competition, we will be able to repeat the success of the first tournament that took place in Hong Kong two years ago.

I am confident that the East Asian Football Championship is contributing to the development of football in our region. Continuing successful results achieved by various age-level teams in our region confirm this positive trend.

Most notably, following the successful performances during the 2002 FIFA World Cup™, Korea Republic, Japan and Korea DPR have qualified for the Asian Final Qualification Round for the 2006 FIFA World Cup™. I pin my hopes on these teams of our region qualifying for the Final Round in Germany to represent our region with dignity and pride. I join the numerous football fans in our region in cheering for them.

The winner of the Preliminary Competition of the EAFC 2005 will join Korea Republic, China and Japan in Korea Republic for the Final Round. I wish the five teams the best of luck and success and hope that all the players will play well in the spirit of fair play.

Last but not least, I would like to thank Dr. Huang Shih Cheng, the President, and all other people at the Chinese Taipei FA who have made this tournament possible.

Thank you.

Dr. Chung Mong Joon
