The national soccer team, led by head coach Hong Myung-bo, headed to Oman with heavy steps.
Hong Myung-bo, who had a short break after the Palestinian match the night before, gathered at Incheon International Airport around 11 p.m. on the 6th.
The national team will leave for Oman at 1 a.m. on the 7th, and play Oman at 11 p.m. on the 10th (Korea time) at Sultan Qaboos Stadium in Oman for the second Group B match of the third Asian qualifying round for the 2026 FIFA World Cup between North Korea and China.
South Korea’s team, which drew the first match against Palestine 0-0 on its home turf, is taking a heavy step forward.
Not only the results, but also the performance was disappointing, and the atmosphere hit rock bottom, with the player and the red devil scuffling in a chaotic situation where boos poured out even on the home turf.
We need to adjust the atmosphere as soon as possible and achieve a rebound in the match against Oman.
Coach Hong Myung-bo and his players, dressed in training suits, appeared at the departure hall with calm expressions.
Although it was late, many fans gathered to see off the national team, and the players responded with light smiles and hand greetings.
The national team, which will arrive in Muscat at 11:30 a.m. local time on the 7th via Doha, Qatar, plans to adapt to the local area as soon as possible by starting adaptation training immediately that evening.
“The most important thing is the condition of the players. In particular, European leagues have some physical challenges as they immediately convened matches with their teams and played matches against Palestine. We will closely monitor the players’ conditions and come up with a starting combination,” Hong said, vowing to display stellar performance in the match against Oman. 메이저놀이터
South Korea has a 4-1 advantage in Oman and all-time records, but Oman’s recent strength is formidable.
