Oh Hyeon-Gyu

Oh Hyeon-gyu is a centre-forward named in Hong Myung-bo's final 26-man Korea Republic squad for the 2026 World Cup, listed among the forwards. He is 25 at kick-off and plays his club football for Beşiktaş, having transferred there from Genk in February 2026. He brings 24 senior Korea Republic caps and six international goals into the tournament, having been named in the official 26-man squad announced on 16 May 2026.

Korea Republic face Czech Republic, Mexico and South Africa in Group A, opening against the Czech Republic at Estadio Akron in Zapopan on 11 June. Hong Myung-bo's side qualified by winning their AFC third-round group on 5 June 2025, and Oh is one of the forwards he named in that confirmed 26-man squad.

Oh is a centre-forward, a striker by trade and the role in which Hong Myung-bo named him among Korea Republic's forwards for the 2026 World Cup. At club level he plays for Beşiktaş in the Turkish Süper Lig, where he scored six goals in 12 starts in the 2025-26 season.

At 25, his international record for Korea Republic stands at six goals in 24 caps, a centre-forward's return built up across his senior career.

Oh Hyeon-gyu gives Korea Republic a goalscoring centre-forward in their Goal Rush squad: a striker with six international goals in 24 caps for Korea Republic, now leading the line for Beşiktaş. That centre-forward's goal record is the contribution he offers the team pick. Korea Republic's £10m place sits in Tier 4, a low-band call within the game's £200m card budget, and the Group A draw sets the early fixtures for that pick.
