About South Korea
Snapshot of South Korea's 2026 squad and outlook.
South Korea arrive at World Cup 2026 as Asia's most decorated World Cup nation, having famously reached the semi-finals on home soil in 2002 under Guus Hiddink. Captain Son Heung-min, one of the Premier League's all-time great forwards, is almost certainly playing in his final World Cup at age 34. Placed in Group A alongside hosts Mexico, South Africa, and Czech Republic, the Taeguk Warriors have every reason to believe they can advance from the group stage. Under coach Hong Myung-bo - himself a legend from the class of 2002 - South Korea will mix defensive discipline with pacey counter-attacking football powered by PSG's Lee Kang-in.
