South Korea at the 2026 World Cup
South Korea won AFC third-round Group B, sealing their place on 5 June 2025 under Myung-Bo Hong. His tactical setup uses a 3-4-3 to create attacking width while maintaining defensive stability. Mexico will be the benchmark, but South Africa and Czech Republic offer realistic opportunities for a side targeting knockout progression.

South Korea's 26-player squad
Myung-Bo Hong's squad is built around midfield control and attacking width through the full backs. The defence carries experience across multiple positions, while the forward line carries goal-scoring depth. It's a squad structured to execute Hong's possession-based 3-4-3 system.
South Korea's Group A fixtures
South Korea's three Group A fixtures begin with Czech Republic on 11 June at Estadio Akron in Zapopan, followed by Mexico on 18 June at Estadio Akron in Zapopan and South Africa on 24 June at Estadio BBVA in Guadalupe.
How far can South Korea go at the World Cup?
South Korea's Tier 4 status and Group A draw position them as lower-mid contenders. Their possession dominance from qualifying and territorial control are the foundations for their tournament hopes. Mexico will test them, but Czech Republic and South Africa offer realistic opportunities if South Korea maintain their qualifying discipline.
