PRKFA is "notoriously hard to contact". The association used to have a single fax number, and nowadays hosts a single email address. FIFA executive Jérôme Champagne remembers: "You sent a fax. Sometimes you got a reply", while football journalist James Piotr Montague's emails for "the best part of a decade" were always left unanswered. Even FIFA does not know for certain what the league system overseen by the PRKFA is like and what teams play in it.[4]
As of 2010[update], FIFA's website and the AFC's website listed Mun Jae-chol (문재철) as the association's president;[citation needed] he is also mentioned as such in a report published in November 2008.
Earlier presidents apparently include Choe Nam-gyun (최남균), listed on the FIFA website from July 2007 until at least July 2008, and in an overview of leading positions in the state (as of 2009?) on the website DPRK Search, with “September 2006” in brackets next to his name, and Rim Kyong-man (림경만), listed as president on FIFA's website until June 2007.[5]
The Secretary General is Kim Jang-san.[6]Ri Ryong-nam was president until some time around 2022.[7][8] Former referee coordinator was Song Hye-yong.[7]
