The final roster of the Korean national soccer team, which is attempting to win its first championship in 64 years since 1960, will be revealed on the 28th.

Unlike the previous roster announcements that were held at Paju NFC or the association’s soccer hall, this roster announcement will be held in a movie theater with fans. In addition to the coaching staff, including Coach Klinsmann, three national team players will visit the site and have photo opportunities and autograph sessions.
There are a total of 26 Taegeuk warriors who will participate in the Asian Cup, which begins on the 12th of next month. The number is an increase of 3 from the existing 23. Due to Coach Klinsmann’s style of focusing on existing players, it appears that there will be virtually no surprise selections, but there is a possibility that additional young overseas players playing in Europe will be selected.
The position of forward striker, where Hwang Ui-jo (Norwich City), who was recently suspected of illegal filming, was excluded is expected to be filled by Oh Hyun-gyu (Celtic) and Cho Gyu-seong (Midtjylland), who are improving their scoring sense.

The players have already started to warm up and entered ‘Asian Cup mode’.

Klinsmann, who is currently ranked 23rd in the FIFA rankings, has set his sights on winning the Asian Cup. Korea has been far from the top in Asia since winning the first tournament in 1956 and the second tournament in 1960.
Afterwards, he only came in second place four times (1972, 1980, 1988, 2015). Coach Klinsmann has also consistently stated, “We are aiming to win the Asian Cup” since taking office early this year.

Korea will compete with Bahrain (86th), Jordan (87th), and Malaysia (130th) in Group E of this tournament. In the 2019 United Arab Emirates (UAE) tournament, Korea lost to Qatar and was eliminated in the quarterfinals. The national team, which is preparing in Korea, will depart for Abu Dhabi, UAE, where a training camp will be held on January 2nd next year, and begin final strengthening. The remaining overseas players, including Son Heung-min and Lee Kang-in, will all join Abu Dhabi.
The Taegeuk Warriors will play the final mock test against Iraq on January 6th and then move to Qatar, the site of the decisive battle, on the 10th. Iraq was in Group D of the group stage along with Japan, Indonesia, and Vietnam. If Iraq ranks second in Group D and Korea ranks first in Group E, they can face each other in the round of 16.
