Team captain Son Heung-min (Tottenham Hotspur) has been excluded from the roster due to injury. At the press conference to announce the A-match roster in October, Hong Myung-bo said, “I personally communicated with him whether he will participate or not. I picked him because I felt that he had improved.” However, Son, who has hardly recovered, was excluded from the October roster. Hong Hyun-suk (Mainz) was named as his replacement.
In February, South Korea lost to Jordan 0-2 in the semifinals of the 2023 Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Qatar Asian Cup. It is the first return match in about eight months. Jurgen Klinsmann of Germany was replaced after the Asian Cup. In July, Coach Hong Myung-bo came as the official head coach of the Republic of Korea.
The Jordanian national team was called up by K Leaguer Yazan (Seoul), Altamari (Montpellier) and Yazan Al-Naimat (Al Ahli), who scored against South Korea in the last Asian Cup.
