Soccer: Oceania President Chung resigns for personal reasons

WELLINGTON (Reuters) - Oceania Football Confederation president David Chung has resigned from the position, citing personal issues, the organisation said on Friday.

Chung, who was made a Senior FIFA Vice President last September, had been in charge of the confederation since 2011.

"David Chung, has resigned from his position effective immediately," the OFC said in a statement.

"Chung, who has been at the helm of OFC since 2011, took the decision after much deliberation citing personal reasons."

The OFC Executive Committee is scheduled to meet on April 8.

The OFC was not immediately available for further comment.
