The Korean Olympic Football Team Announces Selection List for Showdown Against Indonesia

Hwang Seon-hong, who is on a winning streak, announced the selection list for the Indonesia hunt.

The Korean Olympic football team, led by coach Hwang Seon-hong, will be selected ahead of the final qualifier for the 2024 Paris Olympics and the quarter-final of the 2024 Asian Football Confederation (AFC) U-23 Asian Cup against Qatar Indonesia at the Abdullah bin Khalifa Stadium in Doha, Qatar, on the 26th (Korea time).

Starting with goalkeeper Baek Jong-beom, Korea’s starting team consists of Cho Hyun-taek, Hwang Jae-won, Byun Jun-su, Hong Si-hoo, Lee Kang-hee, Baek Sang-hoon, Um Ji- seong, Kang Seong-jin, Lee Tae-seok and Kim Dong-jin.

South Korea advanced confidently to the quarter-finals by winning all three matches in Group B, known as the ‘Group of Death’. They played a perfect game against the United Arab Emirates (UAE), China, and Japan, without conceding a single goal.

Indonesia, who met in the quarter-finals, is a sensation. They defeated Australia and Jordan to reach the quarter-finals for the first time in the finals.

Above all, the presence of coach Shin Tae-yong, who knows Korean football best, is a threat. There are variables in the fact that Korea doesn’t exactly know Indonesia, but Indonesia has coach Shin Tae-yong, so modified tactics are possible.

However, South Korea need a win to open the door to Paris. In order to meet the minimum conditions to advance to the Paris Olympics, one must first advance to the semi-finals. On the way, we met Indonesia.

It is necessary to focus on the performance of Lee Young-jun, who scored three goals in the group stage, and Lee Tae-seok, who recorded assists in three consecutive games. Both players contributed greatly to helping Korea break out of the ‘Group of Death’.

South Korea is aiming to become the first country in the world to advance to the Olympic Games for the 10th time in a row. The match against Indonesia is the second obstacle.
