According to a source, on the afternoon of December 22, the VFF Executive Committee of the 6th term will hold an extraordinary meeting to consider Mr. Tuan's request to withdraw. With the pressure continuously increasing since the failure of U23 Vietnam at the 26th SEA Games, it is likely that the Executive Committee members will meet Mr. Tuan's personal wishes.
After leaving VFF, Mr. Tran Quoc Tuan will most likely return to the General Department of Sports and Physical Training, where he used to work and was seconded to VFF as General Secretary. When Mr. Tuan returns to the General Department, he will assume a position equivalent to that of Department Head.
Currently, in addition to holding the position of General Secretary of VFF, Mr. Tuan is also a member of the Executive Committee of the Asian Football Confederation (AFC). If he is no longer the General Secretary of VFF, his role at AFC must still be completed until the end of his term.
Mr. Tran Quoc Tuan was elected to the position of VFF General Secretary at the 5th Congress (2005). At the 6th Congress (2009), President Nguyen Trong Hy reappointed Mr. Tuan to hold this position./.
