The Korea Football Association announced on the 6th the list of 23 players who will participate in the first and second rounds of the North and Central America World Cup Asia 2nd qualifying round to be held during the A-match period in November.
The national team led by Coach Klinsmann will begin the second qualifying round with a match against Singapore at the Seoul World Cup Stadium at 8 p.m. on the 16th, and will play the second away game against China in Shenzhen, China, at 9 p.m. on the 21st.
The roster for this two-game series, which is also the national team’s last actual game ahead of the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Asian Cup to be held in January-February next year, was largely made up of players who had been consistently called by Coach Klinsmann, led by ‘Captain’ Son Heung-min (Tottenham)
The roster is almost the same as last month’s international match period, when two warm-up matches were held against Tunisia (4-0 win) and Vietnam (6-0 win).
While the total number of players was reduced from 24 in October to 23 this month, one goalkeeper position was changed from Kim Jun-hong (Gimcheon) to Song Bum-geun (Shonan Bellmare), and the only difference is that defender Kim Joo-seong (Seoul) was missing.
In addition to Son Heung-min, European players such as Kim Min-jae (Bayern Munich), Lee Kang-in (Paris Saint-Germain), Lee Jae-seong (Mainz), Hwang Hee-chan (Wolverhampton), and Cho Gyu-seong (Midtjylland) were named as the main players.
K Leaguers Moon Seon-min (Jeonbuk), Jeong Seung-hyeon (Ulsan), Lee Ki-je (Suwon), Kim Jin-soo (Jeonbuk), Kim Tae-hwan (Ulsan), and Lee Sun-min (Gwangju) were also included.
Song Bum-geun returns to the national team after five months.
Song Bum-geun, who made his only international appearance in the East Asian Football Federation (EAFF) E-1 Championship game against Hong Kong in July last year, was on the list until June of this year, but was not selected after that due to injury.
The national team will convene at a hotel in Seoul on the afternoon of the 13th and train at the main stadium of Mokdong Sports Complex.
After playing against Singapore on the 16th, they will leave for China on the 19th.
The Football Association reported that Coach Klinsmann plans to reveal the background of player selection and general details related to the call-up through a media conference on the morning of the 13th, the day of the call-up.
In the second qualifying round of this World Cup, 36 countries will compete in nine groups of four teams each, and the first and second place teams in each group will advance to the third qualifying round of the World Cup and also receive the right to participate in the finals of the 2027 Asian Cup (hosted by Saudi Arabia).
In order to advance to the World Cup finals, the 18 countries that passed the second qualifying round must place in the top two of their group in the third qualifying round, which is divided into three groups.
Even if you place 3rd or 4th in your group in the 3rd preliminary round, you will have the opportunity to advance to the finals once more in the 4th preliminary round.
