The Korea Basketball Association held a performance improvement committee meeting on the 21st and selected 12 players to participate in the FIBA Asia Cup in 2025. As a result, five people born in the 2000s were named. Lee Hyun-joong, born in 2000, Yang Joon-seok (Changwon LG), Moon Jung-hyun (Suwon KT), and Yeo Jun-seok, born in 2002, joined the final entry. However, among the 15 participants in the reinforcement training, Ahn Young-joon (Seoul SK), Han Hee-won (kt), and Lee Won-seok (Seoul Samsung) were excluded from the final list of the Asian Cup.
South Korea's national basketball team, led by coach Ahn Joon-ho, is aiming for the Asian Cup to be held in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, on August 5. South Korea will face Australia (August 6), Qatar (August 8) and Lebanon (August 11) in Group A.
'An Joon-ho' has conducted reinforcement training and four home warm-up matches. They played against Japan (11th and 13th) and Qatar (18th and 20th) twice. They beat Japan 91-77 and 84-69, respectively. In the match against Qatar, they won 90-71 and 95-78.
The opponent he meets on the main stage is not easy. South Korea, ranked 53rd in the FIBA rankings, should face Australia (7th) and Lebanon (29th). Qatar (87th) is also not easy. Qatar has recently strengthened its power by holding naturalized players in its arms in succession.
Coach Ahn said after the home warm-up match, `I won't disappoint you. I'll try to keep all the possibilities open. It's a group of death. It's clear. But I'm telling you with the determination to come back alive without being killed in action and become a legend in men's basketball.
South Korea will convene at Jincheon Training Center on the 22nd to continue the tempering process. August 1 'Final Battleground' leaves for Saudi Arabia.
