Jordanian defender Yazan Al Arab (K League registration name Yazan), who plays for FC Seoul, vowed to win the match against Korea.

Yazan attended the press conference for Group B's eighth match of the third Asian qualifying round for the 2026 North-China World Cup against South Korea at Suwon World Cup Stadium on the 24th. Yazan, who greeted "Hello" in Korean, said "All the players are well aware of the importance of tomorrow's game. I will strive for victory."

Yazan, who has built his career in the Middle East and Southeast Asia, is considered Jordan's best center back in history. He made his debut as the first Jordanian player in the K-League last summer when he wore a Seoul uniform. He was recognized for his skills by being the league's best in six of the 12 K-League games. While extending his contract this season, he continues his 'Korean Dream'.




Yazan said, `I have met Korea several times, but tomorrow will be a little different. "It's because the World Cup qualifying round is just around the corner," he said. "I think it will be meaningful to play against the Korean players I met while playing in the K-League on the ground." "Like Korea, it is true that our team has an injured problem," he said, expressing his willingness to win, "The goal for tomorrow is to bring three points."

Yazan said, `I know how passionate and hard Korean players are. As we have faced Korea several times, our teammates must be well aware of this," he said again, adding, "The goal is to play well as we prepared to win three points.'
