South Korea — World Cup 2026 Squad & Fixtures

South Korea won AFC third-round Group B and open in Group A against Mexico, South Africa and Czechia. Their best World Cup finish remains the fourth place from 2002, which still gives the country one of Asia's highest bars on this stage. Mexico may carry the spotlight, but South Korea have enough pace and discipline to tilt the group in their favour. They should arrive expecting to qualify rather than hoping to.
