The list of players for the two matches in a row between Colombia and Uruguay in March, which is the first step of national football coach Jurgen Klinsmann, has been announced.
The Korea Football Association (KFA) announced a list of 26 national team convocations on the 13th. The main members such as Heung-Min Son, Min-Jae Kim, Hee-Chan Hwang, Kang-In Lee, and Kyu-Sung Cho will continue to sortie after the World Cup in Qatar.
Compared to Qatar, two people have changed. Yoon Jong-gyu (FC Seoul) and Hong Chul (Daegu FC) are out, and Lee Ki-je (Suwon Samsung) and Oh Hyeon-gyu (Celtic) will join.
Full-back Lee Gi-je has been called up for about a year and a half since September 2021. Oh Hyun-gyu played an active part in the warm-up match against Iceland in November last year, just before the Cup of World, and went with Qatar as a reserve member.
The national team will meet at Paju NFC on the 20th and play two consecutive matches against Colombia (Ulsan Munsu Football Stadium) on the 24th and Uruguay (Seoul World Cup Stadium) on the 28th.
