Hwang In-beom (Feyenoord), who has just recovered from his injury, was excluded from the entry. Lee Kang-in (Paris Saint-Germain) waits on the bench.
Son Heung-min (Tottenham) will be led by Joo Min-kyu (Daejeon), Hwang Hee-chan (Wolverhampton) and Lee Jae-sung (Maints). Hong Myung-bo will be on the stage for the first time in 2025. South Korea will play 7th Group B match against Oman in the third Asian qualifying round for the 2026 North-China World Cup at Goyang Stadium in Gyeonggi Province at 8 p.m. on the 20th.
On the 25th, the match against Jordan is waiting. If they win two consecutive games, they will reach the first place. Regardless of the results of the remaining two games, they will be confirmed to advance to the finals of the North-China World Cup. The advance to the World Cup finals for the 11th time in a row is the history of Asia's first new record. It will remain sixth in the world after Brazil (22 times), Germany (18 times), Italy (14 times), Argentina (13 times), and Spain (12 times).
From the North Korea-China World Cup, the number of countries that advance to the finals will increase from 32 to 48. In Asia, 8.5 tickets were also allocated, up from 4.5 to 4. In the third qualifying round, the first and second places in each group will win a ticket to the North Korea-China World Cup finals. Hong Myung-bo ran without hesitation. He is ranked first in Group B with 14 points (4 wins and 2 draws). Iraq (3 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss) is in second place with 11 points, and Jordan (2 wins, 3 draws and 1 loss) is in third place with 9 points. Oman is in fourth place with six points (2 wins and four losses).
The start is important. Oman's FIFA ranking is 80th and South Korea is 23rd. We already met in the second round of the third qualifying round. Hong Myung-bo scored one goal and two assists in the away game, winning 3-1 with Son Heung-min, who was involved in all three goals.

Coach Hong Myung-bo unveiled the best 11 ahead of the match against Oman. Run the 4-2-3-1 system. With Joo Min-kyu in the one-top, Son Heung-min, Lee Jae-sung and Hwang Hee-chan will stand in the second line. Park Yong-woo (Al Ain) and Baek Seung-ho (Birmingham City) will be paired with defensive midfielders.
He cares about Lee Kang-in and Hwang In-beom. Hwang In-beom was not listed on the entry list at all. Lee Kang-in plays the role of Joker. On Hwang In-beom on the 19th, Hong said, `The team, the players themselves, and the national team communicated smoothly. I played 45 minutes last weekend. There's a little injury, so I'll watch it." Coach Hong ran with Hwang In-beom and checked his condition intensively. Hwang In-beom's calf muscle condition is not yet complete. He also suffered an additional bruise on his foot in the match against Tvente just before joining the team.
Lee Tae-seok (Pohang), Kwon Kyung-won (Corpacan Club), Cho Yoo-min (Sharjah), and Seol Young-woo (Zvezda) are located in Fourback. Cho Hyun-woo (Ulsan) will protect the goal. 'The leader of the defense line'Kim Min-jae (Bayern Munich) failed to call up due to left Achilles tendinitis. Kwon Kyung-won takes over.
It is a concern that there is not much time to breathe due to the nature of the national team. Ahead of the match against Oman on the 19th, the team conducted a full-length training session for only one day. Coach Hong said, `I don't think I ever said that the national team has less training time. That's what I knew. I don't think I would say that. It's very important how well these players work together. "We don't have time. Finding a way to fill that time is the most important thing. It is important to have a meeting through video, share the game model, and have time to be together at the training site."

He also said "Fortunately, the players are good right now. He is a player who can learn everything in a short time without having to spend a lot of time. We trust and expect the players to be on the field, and the players who go out will play responsibly. I don't know what the game will look like, but I expect the players to do their best and do their best.
Son Heung-min, who is trying to score goals in four straight A matches, said "Fans will have high expectations ahead of this year's first match. The first step is important" It would be nice to confirm the advance to the finals early while proceeding with the World Cup qualifying round. However, it should not be forgotten that the players were in a difficult situation. Players should be praised for their hard work. Two games are important. But while playing soccer, I never thought of the next game"He fired up his fighting spirit.
