South Korea and Japan laugh at the North-China World Cup, where they experience 'in advance'

South Korea's national football team, led by head coach Hong Myung-bo, will play a friendly match against the U.S. (7th) and Mexico (10th).

South Korea confirmed its advance to the 2026 North Korea-China World Cup finals early on. He won the third Asian qualifying round 'Unbeaten' to qualify for the World Cup as the No. 1 player in the group.




It is now 'Bonline Mode'. Hong and his players went to the U.S. for an away friendly match. It will be the first showdown with a country '脫 Asia' since Hong's second term. Through this match, South Korea will check not only the team but also various tactics.

The advantages of an expedition to the United States do not end here. The North Korea-China World Cup, which is about nine months away, is expected to change significantly. Starting from this competition, the number of participating countries in the finals will be expanded from 36 to 48. Choosing the base camp during the tournament has also emerged as an important variable. There are about 60 candidates for the base camp announced by FIFA in April. The base camp will be decided in consideration of each team's preference and game schedule when the final draw is completed in December. However, South Korea is working to use this friendly match to figure out an advantageous option. According to the Korea Football Association, we have already looked at several places, and we will check more after the friendly match.

This expedition is also an opportunity to experience the environment in advance. The North-China World Cup will be co-hosted by three countries: the U.S., Canada, and Mexico. Countries with large territories are tied up. Host cities are divided into 'regions' based on location, not by country, and form the basis of the game schedule. The western regions are Seattle and Los Angeles, San Francisco Bay Area, and Vancouver, Canada. The central region consists of Dallas, Houston, Kansas City, Mexico City, Mexico City, Guadalajara, and Monterrey. The eastern regions included New York and New Jersey, the United States, Boston, Philadelphia, Atlanta, Miami, and Toronto, Canada. According to the schedule of the tournament released by FIFA, there are cases where you have to move the area rather than stay in one area during the group stage. Indeed, a mobile war is expected.




Announcing the A-match list in September, Hong explained that `this A-match has some aspects to see outside the game' and"there are many similar forms of soccer fields in the United States.'

Like South Korea, Japan, which went on an expedition to the U.S., expressed expectations. Hajime Moriyasu, head coach of the Japanese national soccer team, said earlier "It has not yet been decided where to play. However, you can experience the atmosphere of playing in the United States. There is also a time difference where each game is played. I think just being able to play in the U.S. can do a lot of things." Japan is also known to have inspected the base camp during the friendly match. Japan will clash with the U.S. on the 7th and Mexico on the 10th.
