The national soccer team, led by head coach Hong Myung-bo, will reconvene in Paju on the 8th after a short break.

Hong Myung-bo won 2-0 in the away game of Group B of the third Asian qualifying round for the 2026 North-China World Cup against Iraq at Basra International Stadium in Iraq on the 6th (Korea time).

Korea, ranked first in Group B, had five wins and four draws (19 points) and won a ticket to the finals, which will be given up to second place in the group regardless of the final match against Kuwait (10th).

The national team, which returned home on the afternoon of the 6th after a chartered flight immediately after the match, will disband at the airport, take a delicious break, and reconvene on the 8th.

The national team, which unpacks its luggage at a hotel in Goyang, Gyeonggi-do on the afternoon of the 8th, will rearrange its line at Paju NFC on the same day and prepare for the final match against Kuwait at 8 p.m. on the 10th at Seoul World Cup Stadium.

Team Korea`s Coach Hong Myung-bo, who is relieved to have achieved his primary goal, plans to shoot a self-congratulatory shot to advance to the World Cup finals for the 11th consecutive time in front of his home fans. The Korea Football Association (KFA) will also hold a simple celebration event on the day.

As the result of the match against Kuwait has nothing to do with going to the finals, Hong Myung-bo is expected to give more opportunities to young players, such as calling up Bae Joon-ho (Stoke), who was called up for the U22 national team. 스포츠토토

Coach Hong Myung-bo said, "We need to think more about which player will play (against Kuwait)," adding, "There are not many opportunities to test young players who will play in the World Cup, so those things will go right away."
