Hong Myung-bo will clash with the Palestinians again at Amman International Stadium on the green grass.
The national soccer team, led by head coach Hong Myung-bo, will play the 6th away match of Group B of the third Asian qualifying round for the 2026 FIFA North-China World Cup at Amman International Stadium in Amman, Jordan, at 11 p.m. on the 19th (Korea time).
Currently, Korea ranks first with 13 points (4 wins and 1 draw), while Palestine ranks sixth with two points (2 draws and 3 losses).
In the third Asian qualifying round for the North-China World Cup, the first and second place in each group will go straight to the World Cup finals.
South Korea is determined to beat Palestine and cross the eighth ridge of its “11th consecutive World Cup finals.”
In September, Hong played his first match against Palestine on his home turf since taking office, but drew 0-0.
Captain Son Heung-min (Tottenham), Lee Jae-sung (Mainz), Lee Kang-in (Paris Saint-Germain), Hwang In-beom (Feyenoord), Seol Young-woo (Zvezda), and Kim Min-jae (Munich) all played, but they did not come to fruition.
One of the causes of the poor fight was the grass of the Seoul World Cup Stadium, which is called the holy site of Korean soccer.
After the game, Son Heung-min was in poor ground condition, saying, “There were many players with good skills, but fans also had difficulty controlling and dribbling the ball.”
Coach Hong suffered criticism for the draw against Palestine, but quickly got back on track.
They won four straight A matches in succession by catching away to Oman (3-1 win), away to Jordan (2-0 win), home to Iraq (3-2 win), and away to Kuwait (3-1 win) in the fifth game.
In particular, he is showing a stronger performance on the road, winning victories in the Middle East, where there are many variables.
Hong Myung-bo will face the Palestinians at the Amman International Stadium, where he played an away match in Jordan.
As it is an Amman International Stadium with a “carpet lawn,” there is no worry about the lawn.
Before entering Jordan, coach Hong said, “[Amman International Stadium] has a comfortable feeling,” adding, “Our players and the stadium environment have been done once, so they will be comfortable.”
The cool weather in Jordan compared to other Middle Eastern countries is also nice for Taegeuk Warriors.
Recently, Jordan has a daytime high of around 20 degrees Celsius, similar to autumn in Korea.
Both grass and weather are expected to face the Palestinians in their best condition. 카지노사이트
