It is an away game in the Middle East with many variables, but the showdown will take place in a better environment than feared.
In the case of the weather, the temperature is high, but the humidity is low and the cool wind blows, making it comfortable.
After entering Kuwait, Hong Myung-bo completed his adaptation to the local area by conducting training in time for kickoff.
In addition, the showdown site Jabeur Al Ahmed International Stadium has excellent grass.
Son Heung-min, who participated in official training the day before the game, bowed down and touched the grass before being satisfied.
The South Korean national soccer team aims to solidify its lead with a victory over Kuwait.
The national soccer team, led by head coach Hong Myung-bo, will play Kuwait in Group B of the third Asian qualifying round for the 2026 FIFA North-China World Cup at Jabeur Al Ahmed International Stadium in Kuwait City, the capital of Kuwait, at 11 p.m. on the 14th (Korea time).
Currently, Korea is leading the league with 10 points (3 wins, 1 draw, 8 points, 3 runs).
Kuwait ranks fifth with three points (three draws and one loss, three points and seven points).
Hong Myung-bo was criticized for drawing 0-0 at home against Palestine in the first leg.
However, they won 3-1 away to Oman in the second game, 2-0 away to Jordan in the third game, and 3-2 at home to Iraq in the fourth game, giving them a three-game winning streak.
In particular, last month, he filled the injury gap of captain Son Heung-min (Tottenham Hotspur) and achieved valuable results.
The national soccer team will enter two consecutive away games in the Middle East, dreaming of advancing to the World Cup finals for the 11th consecutive time.
In the third Asian qualifying round, the top 1 and 2 in each group will advance to the World Cup finals.
South Korea is determined to cross the seventh ridge of its advance to the North-China World Cup by holding the last two games of this year.
The first opponent in November’s A-match is Kuwait, which is considered one level below objective power.
When comparing FIFA rankings, Korea is 22nd and Kuwait 135th, 113 places apart.
South Korea has an advantage against Kuwait with 12 wins, 4 draws, and 8 losses in 24 games.
In particular, it has been overwhelming in the last eight games, with seven wins and one draw (including a forfeit).
Expectations are high ahead of the Kuwaiti expedition, which took place for the first time in 3,325 days since October 8, 2015.
In particular, Game 5 has a special meaning because it is a turning point for the 10 games of the third qualifying round, which will be played home and away. 온라인바카라
The presence of Middle Eastern leaguers such as Kwon Kyung-won (Korpakan), Cho Yoo-min (Sharja), Jung Seung-hyun (Alwasl), and Park Yong-woo (Al Ain) is also a positive factor.
“This is the first A-match game in November. It is equally important to any team. The most important thing is victory,” said Hong, who attended the pre-press conference on Wednesday.
“By winning the first match, I want to win the next match (against Palestine) to wrap up my schedule in November. I will prepare to perform well in the next match,” he said, renewing his commitment.
