SEOUL (AFP): South Korea's 2002 World Cup Organizing Committee on Saturday named Korea Football Association president Chung Mong-joon and Seoul Olympic Sports Promotion Foundation chairman Lee Yun-taek as new co-heads.

The two replaced Park Seh-jik who stepped down in July after a row with Chung, a vice president of the International Football Federation (FIFA) and previous culture and tourism minister Park Jie-won.

Chung had been vice chairman of the organizing committee while Lee has served as a committee member since its official launch in 1996.
