The U-20 national team, led by head coach Lee Chang-won, will hold a domestic convocation training in Wonju, Gangwon-do from the 19th to the 22nd. This training is a call-up in preparation for participation in the U-20 overseas warm-up match in Cairo, Egypt, next month.
The U-20 team will participate in the FIFA U-20 World Cup in Chile in September. Lee Chang-won reached the semifinals of the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) U-20 Asian Cup in China in February and qualified for the World Cup.
Twenty-eight players will be called up for this Wonju call-up training. Since it was not a call-up during the international game set by FIFA, the call-up list was set up only for players who agreed to be called up with their clubs.
The list included nine players who played in the U-20 Asian Cup, including Kim Tae-won (Portimonense) and Hong Sung-min (Pohang). In addition, new players who stood out in each team got a chance.
Three players, including Kim Tae-won, Hwang Gun-sung (GD Chavez), and Hwang Seung-ho (SC Ferle), are active in Europe, and Baek In-hwan (FC Tokyo) is the only J Leaguer. Three high school players born in 2007 were also included, including Bae Seung-kyun, who is scheduled to transfer to Feyenoord, Lee Kyung-hyun, who is scheduled to transfer to FC Copenhagen, and Han Seok-jin, a semi-professional contractor at Jeonbuk Hyundai. There are four college students, and the remaining 17 are all from K League 1 and K League 2.
Since the Egypt warm-up match in June will be held during the A-match period, a new list will be announced, including the players who did not participate in the call-up list before leaving the country.
The U-20 national team will depart on June 2nd and face Norway's U-20 team on the 6th (local time) and Brazil's U-20 team on the 10th.
