Reporter Noh Chan-hyuk] The venue for the national soccer team's final Asian qualifying home game in March has been decided.
"The seventh Group B match of the upcoming FIFA World Cup third Asian qualifying round for the 2026 World Cup in North Korea and China will be held at Goyang Stadium and the eighth Group B match against Jordan on March 25 will be held at Suwon World Cup Stadium," the Korea Football Association (KFA) said on Sunday. Kick-off time is 8 p.m. in both games.
Team Korea, which has played six matches, ranks first in Group B with four wins and two draws. Iraq (11 points), Jordan (9 points), Oman (6 points), Kuwait (4 points), and Palestine (3 points) are in order, following the latter.
It may be possible to make an early decision to advance to the World Cup finals in the seventh and eighth games that will be played in two consecutive home games. If Korea wins against both Oman and Jordan, it will secure at least the second place in Group B regardless of the results of the ninth and 10th games, and thus it will acquire a ticket to the World Cup finals.
If South Korea wins both games, it will have 20 points, and even if Jordan, ranked third in Group B, wins the remaining three games except against South Korea, there are only 18 points, so South Korea can secure at least second place in Group B.
It is the first time in two and a half years that the men's A match will be held in Goyang since the friendly A match against Costa Rica in September 2022. At Suwon World Cup Stadium, it has been a year and five months since the friendly A match against Vietnam in October 2023. 카지노
An official from the Korea Football Association said, "As it is an important game in the road to the North-China World Cup, we reviewed various things, including checking the condition of the grass field with a longer cold in late winter to confirm the venue, and decided to play two consecutive home games in Goyang and Suwon."
