The national soccer team, under interim coach Hwang Seon-hong, will make its debut to domestic fans this year at the Seoul World Cup Stadium in March.
The Korea Football Association (KFA) said, “The third match of Group C of the 2026 FIFA North and Central America World Cup Asia Region 2nd qualifying round between Korea and Thailand will be held at the Seoul World Cup Stadium on March 21 at 8 p.m.” “The fourth game will be held at Rajamangala Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand at 9:30 pm (Korean time) on the 26th.”
As a result, Team A will stand in front of domestic fans again at the Seoul World Cup Stadium about four months after the first match of Group C of the World Cup second qualifying round against Singapore in November last year.
Immediately after the game against Singapore, Korea traveled to China and played the second round of the World Cup qualifiers. Afterwards, they had a friendly match with the United Arab Emirates (UAE) in Qatar and participated in the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Asian Cup.
In the match against Thailand, Korea will be under interim coach Hwang Sun-Hong.
On the 16th, KFA dismissed coach Jurgen Klinsmann, who showed insincerity and incompetence during his tenure. Afterwards, a new power strengthening committee chairman, Jeong Hae-seong, was appointed, a new power strengthening committee was formed, and work began on selecting a new head coach. On the 27th, it was decided to temporarily entrust Olympic team coach Hwang Seon-hong with the two games in March.
Coach Hwang Seon-hong plans to form a new coaching staff for the second international match against Thailand.
After completing two games, Korea is currently at the top of Group C with two wins (6 points) in the North and Central America World Cup qualifiers. Thailand is in second place in the group with 1 win and 1 loss (3 points). 스포츠토토
