The Klinsmanns are officially on the road. The team is looking to qualify for the 2026 FIFA World Cup North America.
The Korea Football Association (KFA) announced its 23-man roster for the second Asian qualifier for the 2026 FIFA World Cup North America in November on Saturday afternoon. Captains Son Heung-min (Tottenham), Kim Min-jae (Bayern Munich), Lee Kang-in (Paris Saint-Germain), Lee Jae-sung (Mainz), Hwang Hee-chan (Wolverhampton), and Cho Kyu-sung (Mittwilan) are among the mainstays of the squad that was named in October. 카지노사이트가이드 
In the K League, Moon Sun-min (Jeonbuk), Jeong Seung-hyun (Ulsan), Lee Ki-je (Suwon), Kim Jin-soo (Jeonbuk), Kim Tae-hwan (Ulsan), and Lee Sun-min (Gwangju) were selected. Song Bum-geun (Shonan Belmare), who has been out of the squad since June due to a stress fracture of the scaphoid bone in his left foot, also returned to the national team after five months.
Twenty-two of the 23 spots are unchanged from the October A-Match roster (24 players). Song Bum-geun was named in place of goalkeeper Kim Jun-hong (Jeonbuk), while defender Kim Joo-sung (Seoul) was left out.
The team will convene at a hotel in Seoul on the 13th and train at the Mokdong Sports Complex main stadium.
They will play their first qualifying match against Singapore at Seoul World Cup Stadium in Mapo-gu, Seoul at 8 p.m. on the 16th, before departing on the 19th to face China in Shenzhen, China on the 21st.
To qualify for the World Cup, the 18 second-place finishers must finish in the top two of their group in the third round of qualifying, which is divided into three groups. If they finish third or fourth in the third round, they will have one more chance to qualify in the fourth round.
The two-game series will be Klinsmann's first test under his new leadership. It will also be the final test before the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Asian Cup in January/February next year.
Head coach Jürgen Klinsmann will hold a media conference on Wednesday morning to discuss the selection of the players and provide an overview of the call-up.
