FIFA held a draw for the 2025 FIFA U-20 World Cup in Santiago, Chile on the 30th (Korea time). As a result, the South Korean U-20 national team, led by head coach Lee Chang-won, will compete with Ukraine (September 27), Paraguay (September 30), and Panama (October 3) in Group B for the advance to the round of 16. South Korea is losing to Ukraine with one win and two losses against the U-20 national team. In particular, he lost 1-3 in the final of the 2019 tournament and missed his first opportunity to win. Paraguay is tight with two wins, one draw and two losses in all-time records. He has never met Panama in a U-20 national team match.
South Korea advanced to the semifinals at the 2025 Asian Football Confederation (AFC) U-20 Asian Cup in Shenzhen, China, in February and won a ticket to the World Cup finals. South Korea's all-time record for the U-20 World Cup was runner-up at the 2019 tournament. In the previous 2023 competition, he finished fourth. He has performed well in the last three tournaments, including runner-up (2019), fourth place (2023), and round of 16 (2017). The 2021 tournament was canceled in the aftermath of COVID-19.
Coach Lee Chang-won said through the Korea Football Association, `It is reassuring to have avoided traditional powerhouses, but there are many variables in this age group. Ukraine is the winner of the 2019 tournament. Paraguay and Panama are neighboring countries to the host country, so they will have an advantage over us in local adaptation. It is more important that we prepare well than whether we meet any opponent. There are things I thought I should develop after the Asian Cup. There will be not many upcoming convocation drills, but we will prepare for the World Cup by taking one step at a time for the rest of the year, including the upcoming Egyptian international friendly. After the Egypt schedule, I plan to visit European clubs and continue discussions on recruiting players.
