South Korea will be making their 12th appearance at the FIFA World Cup in the 2026 edition hosted across the United States, Canada and Mexico. One of Asia’s most consistent performers on the global stage, their best-ever finish came in 2002, when they achieved a historic fourth-place finish as co-hosts.

Drawn into Group A alongside Mexico, South Africa, and Czechia, South Korea begins its campaign with an opening match scheduled for 11 June 2026. With a reputation for discipline and high-energy football, they will be aiming to progress beyond the group stage once again.

With a squad that blends international experience and dynamic young talent, South Korea arrive with ambition and confidence. As the tournament unfolds across North America, the Taeguk Warriors will look to build on their strong World Cup legacy and push for another memorable run.
